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.

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
