28. Philadelphia Eagles

04/15/09- Brandon Pettigrew TE. It might seem inconceivable that the Eagles could have two first round picks and then fail to use either one of them on a lineman given their history of how their top picks are used (you guessed it, on linemen). But the Eagles have a much more glaring weak spot at TE (which is sort of O-line-ish, right?) with the release of LJ Smith. Celek showed some receiving potential last year, particularly in the post-season, but is apparently still a poor blocker. Pettigrew, on the other hand, is the hands-down best TE in the draft and is not a liability in pass protection. This would seem to give Philadelphia a number of offensive options which, last time I checked, was a good thing.
