Vic Carucci (NFL.com) talk about TEs in 1st round

This is a very interesting article about TE in this year's draft class. Carucci makes some valid points about TE position being overrated by team over recent years.
He tries to show the "Tight end is an important position, but there's a danger in overrating its importance."

I read that and happen to agree with him – espcially this year. but if we trade down then grab Petti at 17-25 or something then that would be fine

The rest of you go get the goods on Stan. His mom grounded him once for setting something on fire. Let's find out what that something was and then lie and say it was a puppy.

He has an obvious interest in/ history with the Bills too.

So maybe he’s "selflishly telling them to avoid Pettigrew in the 1st.

I like Pettigrew, but I think this year there is a deep class of TEs and we could find great talents in round 2 or 3.
I’d love if we draft Pettigrew, but don’t like the idea of go for him with 11th pick, especially with so many needs on Defense.

I love Pettigrew

And even though I agree with most of the article, I still think Pettigrew is a top 20 pick. And I would love for the Bills to draft him in the first… just not at 11.

I like Pettigrew

But if we end up having two firsts, meaning we traded Peters, i would much rather see the best OT available at whatever spot and the best OLB or DE. i think with our WRs, you might find that the Bills will not draft a high TE at all, and work with what we have; shore up the LG spot, and maybe even get that fierce FB we need (dude from LSU would be nice) I mean, you never know, Fine and Schouman might be more than effective, even if Pettigrew proves dominate. A great OLB, DE, OT, all must be rated higher than a TE in my opinion. But if Pettigrew is a Shannon Sharpe, Antonio Gates, or Tony Gonzolez, than it would be hard to say no to that…I’m glad i am not drafting

The Bills CAN win every game
