The Atlanta Falcons are gearing up for the NFL Draft later this month, but there are still some housekeeping items for Ian Cunningham and this new-look front office to look into. Earlier this offseason, they placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on Kyle Pitts Sr., but the general manager did not rule out a trade during the NFL meetings in Phoenix this week.

What would it cost to make that move? The Morning Shift discussed what it could take for them to be comfortable making that move.


"I think I need more than a third," Beau Morgan said. "I just need something small to juice it up -- maybe you swap seconds and give me a third. I just need something more because I feel weird about giving up a guy who was basically just a 1000-yard receiver last year."

Mike Johnson pushed back a bit, saying there is a lot of risk involved in letting him stick around without an extension in hand. If he reaches free agency, there is a good chance he walks away for nothing.

With that in mind, the Falcons will have a big decision to make, but what would they be able to recoup in a potential deal?
