In the world of journalism, it's the greatest compliment when an article you wrote inspires others to express their own opinion on the same subject.
Back in February, I wrote an article asking the question should teams draft tight ends in the first round. It was a relevant question because Oklahoma State's Brandon Pettigrew could be the only TE selected within the first 32 picks.
Last night, as I worked on the second edition of my mock draft, I turned to NFL.com as a resource for teams and players. On their front page, senior columnist Vic Carucci was saying teams shouldn't bother drafting a tight end in the first round.
The difference is a question versus a statement, but we're both made similar points. The difference is I say after the 20th pick is a good value for a tight end while Carucci is sure no TEs should be drafted in the first round.
Check out both articles. I'm not making an accusation against Carucci. Just saying we both thought of an issue that's deeper than the surface. I'm just happy I thought of it first.
