#20 Pick - Detroit Lions - Brandon Pettigrew - TE - Oklahoma State

#20 Pick - Lions 2nd pick of the day Brandon Pettigrew TE - OSU

Lions are on the clock again with the pick they got in the Roy Williams deal.

The best TE in this years draft, and in Mel Kipers opinion the 7th best player in the draft.

A great blocking TE.

There were no Wide receivers that the lions wanted so they went TE

[SlumpBuster]

Outstanding pick. You guys probably don't know BP very well but I went to 4 OSU games last year. He is a beast. Terrific blocker and under-utilized pass catcher IMO.

[Canuck Kid]

looks good on film for sure

[EaglesLinc]

This guy is a solid pick and if it weren't for the Eagles getting Maclin, I would have loved to se them pick him.

With the Lions awful OLine this is the best friend a young QB will have.
Pettigrew will see alot of hot route recs this year.

[Shame About Ray]

Brandon Pettigrew was supposed to go to Phili? Hmmm oh well he'll work in Detroit too

Pettigrew was viewed as the best tight end in the 2009 draft largely because of his all-around talent and willingness to block in the run game.

[TheWiesguy]

I really like Pettigrew too. Every OSU game you see he is making big plays and he seems like a really good athlete. Lost of mocks had him going a lot higher.

Young QB needs good TE so they can get some easy completions and build rhythm. He could be a top 10 TE for fantasy next year.
