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.

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

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
