I would not use the number 14 pick on a player as Raw as patterson. It will be 2 years before you see any returns on the pick.

Where are you getting that idea from?

Patterson is an automatic upgrade at receiver over,

Murphy, Gettis, Adams, Pilares, and possibly even LaFell if Brandon has hit his full potential.

He would be an automatic upgrade at PR/KR also, no doubt.

Don't let the sloppy route running scare you. What rookie DOESN'T have to work on their route running at the next level?

Even with sloppy route running, patterson's speed and play making ability makes him more valuable than everyone but Smitty.

He is raw as raw can be at the WR position. He runs bad routes has suspect hands (letting the ball get to his body to much) and has 1 year of actually playing the position at a high level.

Don't let the speed and the size fool you. He is not a 1st round pick in a above avg wr year. And in this below avg wr year. I'm willing to bet he won't be picked in the top 20.

Poor route running and some occasional drops. The two most common knocks on a receiver every year.

His size and speed alone will force a team to take him in the first, so don't go betting any money on that lol.

And I hate the 1 year of college ball argument. I'm sure Cam Newton does too. It's rather laughable especially when Patterson absolutely dominated the SEC.

Patterson's combine will make or break him, but regardless I think he will produce at the next level. He's got way too much potential and skill to fail.

that is not true. the 2 things that he needs to work on, he will work on everyday for the rest of his career. dominated the JC level and the SEC in 2 years like a player that is already on this team. he automatically becomes the #3 WR that will push Lafell in TC for a starting spot.

The only reason he becomes the 3rd wr is because he was picked 14th.

He will be given a job to justify the pick.

Again he runs bad routes doesn't have a full understanding of the route tree and his hands are sub par. In a better wr year he wouldn't be a 1st 2 day pick. He is a project and is a stupid pick in the round maybe even second.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
