Quinton Patton WR Louisiana Tech



(Text hierarchy and images for greater effect )

Its early, but it seems there's no clear cut #1 overall wr this year however a decent crop a really talented NFL ready guys in the top-8 or so.

I think this would be a perfect target in the 2nd round for us. He's a big reason why LA Tech has been so strong this season and I think he could be a stud in the making.

Last year after he gave Jonathan Banks a run for his money, Banks had this to say:

"I feel like (Quinton Patton) from Louisiana Tech is the best receiver I've played against since I've been here. I've gone against some good ones in the SEC, too, but he's probably the most complete."

Commanding respect from a top SEC CB prospect is a pretty good endorsement in my book.

If anyone knows him a little better or wants to give some feedback feel free to. Patton, T'Williams, Patterson, Hopkins, and Cobi all look like guys I'd like to see help improve our offense.

Nice find... yea he looks like a real possibility at the top of the second round. I think our best options are either to trade down into the middle of the first and gain an extra second and take the best WR available in the first. But if we cannot trade down this guy looks like he has potential. I wonder what how fast he is... I am hoping to get a WR faster than Lafell to be a #1.

I don't trust many draft sites too much until around Feb. (i.e. cbs, draftscout, etc) but from what I've dug up, his 40 time is about a 4.41 with obvious in-game upsides with his elusiveness and quickness.

Love him

[Jackofalltrades]

Do want.

[Greg Schiano]

I'ma get him first!

[DaCityKats]

the guy is a baller, you guys should look at the game breakdown of him vs Texas A&M. he runs great routes, and gains seperation from DBs with ease. like Kahakai said that was his best game by far, and you can see that from his stat line. he made several DBs get PI calls from his route running.

Yeah totally agree. That game, they knew LaTech was gonna be going to him nearly every passing down and he still lit it up. Started slow and then completely brought his team back nearly by himself alone. It also shows he's great for the goal line toss ups...he's very good at juking defenders.

Here's the A&M game:

He's projected to go around rounds 5-6(assuming he doesn't blow up the combine)... Would be really nice pick up for us.

per Walterfootball in November

Correct me if you've seen this elsewhere but there's no way this isn't picked by round 3 imo

As I said, don't trust those sites at least until January

[JawnyBlaze]

Looks solid.

He's projected at 2-3 now.
He won't get pass the 3rd once the draft comes.

I really want to add another 2nd in next year draft.
I really wish the next GM will do just that. I don't care about investing future picks. This team is a "win now" team. I want to win now! I don't want to keep waiting for next year, or the year after that.

We're only a couple pieces away from being a serious contender and giving other teams nightmares.

I want Star/Hankins in the 1st, Robert Lester/Jefferson/etc in the 2nd, and a WR like Patton/Rogers/Patterson in the mid to late 2nd.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT. THAT'S ME ONLY THOUGH.

[JawnyBlaze]

I'm down for that. Maybe our new GM pulls a miracle and trades 2 or 3 of our players (as much as I love guys like Deangelo and Beason, we need the long term cap space and we're too fat at those positions to neglect others) and get some 3rds and/or 4ths we might be able to package to move to the 2nd and not even need to trade a future pick. I know I just don't want to trade any future 1sts.
