Dan Grankowski 6-5.5, 255 Maryland
Anthony Hill 6-5, 262 North Carolina State
John Phillips 6-5.5, 251 Virginia
Bear Pascoe 6-5, 251 Fresno State
Ryan Purvis 6-4, 260 Boston College
To name a few. Most of these guys are 2nd day guys and are considered blockers 1st.
Again I keep coming back to OL or RB being the only positions on offense that impact this team enough to be 1st rounders.

Pettigrew gives you a good option in the passing game as well. I'm really only basing that on what he did against Texas and maybe a handfull of college games, but I do think he gives you much more as a receiver than your traditional block first college TE. If he was simply a decent blocker he wouldn't be ranked so highly.
