Why Pettigrew?

[Mitchell55]

Stat wise, he is one of the worst in the draft, hes slow, attitude problems, and his max in TDs in his college career is 4.

Because Mel Kiper says so.

Not just Kiper Mayock has him as the best too. I am not thrilled with him at all. I want Cook or Nelson. I would prefer to have Nelson though.

Re: Why Pettigrew?

Pettigrew has bust written all over him, to be honest i just dont see it, he reminds me alot of Bubba Franks coming out of school but with out the production
We need someone with some serious reciving and redzone capability
Pettigrew has trouble getting open in the seem and seperating from LBers

I still think we should just grab Tony and Waters from KC... we must have something we can give them. Kill two birds with one stone.

Oklahoma ran the ball over 60% of the time and boasted one of the nations top WR's on the team. So his blocking skills were utilized more often then his receiving skills

Pettigrew also had 40 catches on the team, and was the only other player to have 40 or more catches last season on the team.

He is a great blocker which should never be underestimated...

and he knows how to get into space and make a catch.. He may not be a downfield threat but we have Evans and Owens for that.

At #11 I wouldn't draft him, but if we trade down I would have no problems with the pick up. I think he'll be a solid pro, and can make an impact in year 1.

but I prefer OL, DL and LB before TE in round 1

Gonzales doesn't want to be here. He's made that loud and clear.

Pettigrew is the top TE, but we won't go TE at pick #11. It will be DE or OLB

Re: Why Pettigrew?

I'd throw something at the TV if we went TE first...
Find them later, where depth is evident.
G,LB,DE,DT early.

Don't worry, I'll be there and I'll run up to the table and punch the guy on the phone in the mouth

If Raji, Orakpo, Brown and Maybin are gone, why not? We could always pick up a Sidbury in round 2 or 3.

Re: Why Pettigrew?

The need for a TE went down DRAMATICALLY with the TO signing. Front seven are our #1 priority right now... DE and OLB. We should definitely be using our #11 there. As for Tony G, it would be interesting to see if he would like to play here now that we have enhanced our WR corps. Adding him (and Waters?) would make us a top 5 offense (if Lynch stays out of trouble and Trent shows even modest improvement). What do you think it would take pick-wise to get them both? A 3rd and a 4th? How about a 3rd and Kelsay...

Re: Why Pettigrew?

Waters is in KC, so because of the Belicheck connection I doubt he'd trade him to us to hurt the guy that gave him a franchise qb and a lb for a song. If anything I'd anticipate him being a Pat.

TO's presence hasn't lessen the need for the TE, it will accentuate it, but not lessen it. Look at it this way: by having a top notch tight end, like Pettigrew for the sake of the argument, that year he's learning on the job and developing, we have TO to take pressure off him and allow him to develop slower. If TO leaves next year, we have a TE that is ready to be a bigger part and Evans and Hardy.

no one wanted to be here pre- T.O... now some people might think we are somewhat relevant..
