Tight End Rank: #15
Overall: #118
Pettigrew was considered the top tight end in this year's draft. He is a huge tight end with plus hands and top athleticism. His size makes him a tough cover for opposing defenses. Pettigrew also is a willing blocker, which is a plus for the Lions running game. He probably needs to tighten up his route running, but should improve that over time and with more experience. Pettigrew should be the No. 1 tight end for years to come in Detroit.

| If not for landing with the Lions, Pettigrew would be a solid No. 1 tight end for fantasy teams. But landing with the lowly Lions doesn't help his value. He'll get some chances and start, but don't count on him as more than a low-end No. 1 or solid backup. He could get 500 yards and a few scores. |
