The 2008 Rookie Tight End class is really going to be hit or miss. It’ll be a lot easier to judge it a few years down the road, but as of now there are a couple guys that have the talent and the opportunity and should be top 10 (ish) keepers for your 2009 fantasy football season.
1. Dustin Keller #81 of the New York Jets, Drafted 30th overall — Purdue Boilermakers

Best 40 Time: 4.54s

Projected Bench:20 Times @ 225lbs
Beckum’s been plagued by injuries this year, which leads me to be incredibly optimistic with his combine numbers. It seems to be whenever someone gets hurt, they come back and put up ridiculous numbers.

NFL Fantasy Football Tight End: 2009 Brandon Pettigrew Preview

Brandon Pettigrew – Tight End – Oklahoma State Cowboys (Big 12)
Gatt, Gatt. Brandon Pettigrew!
Height: 6’6″
Weight: 260lbs
Best 40 Time: 4.76s
Projected 40 Time: 4.80
Projected Bench: 24 Times @ 225lbs
Well, Brandon Pettigrew is a bad bad man.
He was busted in January for cursing and assaulting a police officer – shortly after he announced he’d stay another year and finish his degree.
He likes education, but also likes fighting cops. I guess they cancel each other out, and eliminate any attitude problems Pettigrew may have.
Anyways, this year’s draft class doesn’t seem to have crazy Vernon Davis / Dustin Keller-type freakishness.
There are however a good amount of very solid, very reliable, prototypical tight ends. Pettigrew leads this class.
