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.

    • They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.
    • I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there. 
    • 10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
