Any realistic shot at Cordarrelle Patterson?

Raji? Not to say that many rooks arent successful at the position, I would say Suh was. I would say that most of their teams are not successful. It is not a position that wins you games, period. As long as you have two guy who don't get pushed back you can win. That is why you spend high draft picks on other spots.I am a believer that it takes 3 things to win, edge rush, protection, and weapons who can beat people. We have one of those.

i thought they should have went after sammie lee hill...since its a hard position to develop...........but yeah i dont think dt is a pp like people are making it out to be. just get a guy who can stop dat run.

I think people are taking this "no projects" thing a bit too far, TBH. WR is one position where the player doesn't have to start day one to make an impact. Today 3rd receivers are as important - if not more so in many ways - than the two "starters" depending on the offense. Patterson has the ability to make an impact day one the same way Percy Harvin did, who won OROY without being a full-on starter.

Besides, it's every bit as important for us to find Smitty's eventual replacement as it is to get an impact player now. If Patterson can come in and be a productive 3rd WR as a rookie, gain some experience, smooth out those edges a bit, then in 2014 take over as the #2 and in 2015 replace Smith when he retires, that works out very well for us.

People must think that big, fast, explosive and physical WRs grow on trees. A lot will depend on workouts, but if Patterson is the rel deal, this might be the best look we have at actually getting a WR with his potential this cheaply for years to come.

I dont want a NT in the 1st or 2nd. Can get a vet in FA or a run stuffer later in the draft.

We need to go WR, CB, or LT in the 1st - 2nd.

Outside of the CB from bama I dont think there is a CB worthy of the 14th pick. Johnson wont be there at 14 either so no go on a LT.

Patterson is alot of risk at 14 imo. Dont like drafting WR that high that dont have good hands to go along with size and playmaking ability.

We need to trade down at all costs.
