The Facts:
With the 78th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Rams select Boise State's Pettis. Reported by FootballDiehards.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
With injury issues facing Donnie Avery, who missed the entire 2010 season with a knee injury, Mark Clayton, who missed the final 11 games with a knee injury and is a free agent, and Danario Alexander, who had had five surgeries on his left knee, this is clearly a position of need in St. Louis. According to his NFL.com scouting report, Pettis is a very experienced player who was highly-productive in college, especially in the red zone. Has the natural ball skills and hands you look for in a receiver. While there are those who question his ability to separate and get deep at the next level, he still makes so many plays in a crowd using his size and body control.
