I can see a path!
I think if we dont take him at 11, he easily drops to 17 and then...
17) Jets- First off, I really think the QB-less Jets will either move up from 17 to take Sanchez or take Freeman at 17. Regardless, they drafted Keller just last year, Pettigrew doesn't make sense.
18) Den- has Sheflller, no need.
19) Bucs- They supposedly want to move Alex Smith but may not get a suitor and they traded for Winslow, they are not taking 'Grew
20) Det- they don't have a strong TE at this point, but they also need everything, if they go Stafford, either D or a OT makes sense. I cant see them spending their next pick on a TE
21) Philly- Its a real possibility and probably the biggest worry before us. Either Wells or Moreno (who they covet) may be there.
22) Minn- Again, no clear cut stud TE, but they want a WR, have talked to Harvin, and maybe Britt, Bey, or Nicks is the pick here.
23) Pats- They have Watson, I don't see it. Id see a S or other needs.
24) ATL- Just traded a high pick for Gonzo, no way they also draft 'Grew.
25) Fins- They have Fasano and use him and love him... no need.
26) Bal- Cut McAllister... this is a defense first team, they are likely going CB, maybe WR, they have Heap... theres a possibility, but I think its slim.
27) Colts- They have Clark, DL, WR, RB, LB seem like ther main needs... again, I dont see it.
And Pettigrew, the #1 TE, drops to us.
Why do we take Pettigrew?
1) We know we have our starting OT's already on this team. Walker at LT, Chambers the likely favorite at RT or maybe an emerging Bell. Depth can come from a later round.
2) We could go LB or DE based on what we did at 11 (my gut says its a DE at 11). That makes a LB like Mathews, English (not a great fit at 4-3), or Sintim (a bit high for my blood) options.
3) We have a shakeup on our OL, why not add the best blocking TE and a guy whos better at receiving than Royal day one.
I wont be unhappy if we dont take him at 28 and take one later, but I really like what he brings to the table and would be ecstatic if we took him at 28.
By the way, I will be giving my wants/dont wants for our possibilities at our picks soon.
It makes sense, I can see a path, dont be surprised.
