1. Brandon Pettigrew, Oklahoma St, 6053 263, 4.85 (1)
Strengths: Great size and bulk for a pass-catching tight end…very consistent…great blocker as well as pass-catcher…gets open underneath as well as anyone…strength and size make him difficult to tackle…tough, physical guy who isn’t afraid of mixing it up on the line
Weaknesses: Lacks ideal speed for NFL tight end…is more of an overall guy than a freak at any one skill…not super athletic…not a home run threat…concerns about his character after a drunken assault arrest
2. Jared Cook, South Carolina, 6046 246, 4.50 (1-2)
Strengths: His biggest strength may be that Jermaine Gresham headed back to school…great speed for a tight end…ca stretch the field vertically…very athletic…quick…can find holes in zone…catches ball well away from body…great receiver
Weaknesses: Size…very lean frame…lacks strength to hold up at point of attack…cannot block well enough…needs to bulk up
