Lions pick top tight end Pettigrew at number 20

With Matthew Stafford officially in the fold, the Lions used their second pick of round one to get an intermediate nfl_g_pettigrew_576target for their new franchise QB. With the 20th pick of round one, Oklahoma State tight end Brandon Pettigrew became a member of the Detroit Lion family.

Pettigrew, the best TE prospect in the draft, was thought to be a possible top 15 pick before he posted a lumbering 4.85 in 40-yard dash at the combine.
