Choosing Petigout was a big surprise. He's still the focus of much debate. As the 2004 draft approached, Giants fans argued if Petigout was a better right tackle. Should he be moved to the right while Gallery played on the left? Of course, Petigout said Gallery wouldn't beat him out for the left tackle job. He's probably right.
Then there's the more general argument, just how good is Luke Petigout? Is he better than Lonnie Shelton and Aaron Gibson, the tackles who were projected to go before Petigout?
