2009 NFL Draft Tight End Rankings

[sffanmike25]

Tight End:
1) Brandon Pettigrew (OK St)
2) Jared Cook (South Carolina)
3) Cornelius Ingram (FLA)
4) Shawn Nelson (Miss)
5) Chase Coffman (Mizzou)

Mid-Round Value: Travis Beckum, Wisconsin – He’s better than this draft slot, just didn’t have the season to back the raw talent.

Class Grade: C/C+

Not too many game-changers in this group at this point. It’s probably a B+ grade if Gresham had left early from OU. However, we could see guys like Ingram or Beckum step up and make this look pretty good in the long-term. Next year's group is going to shine big-time.

Beckum will make a good receiving threat for any team that drafts him. He might not be the best blocker, but he has great hands.

Agreed. His sophomore and junior seasons were superior to the majority of these guys. It wouldn't shock me to see him out-play some of the other listed names in the next couple years.
