This roster needs another receiver with dreadlocks.

Please Miami, sign Wallace or Jennings!

looks like he could pass for dwill's taller younger brother.

when i first made a quick glance of him talking to mike craft, i thought for a second it was deangelo.

So the question needs to be asked...

Do we trade up for him, if it appears he will be gone by 14?

My initial thoughts are obviously no, too many other holes, yada yada. A lot of this depends on how successful we can be in FA plugging holes, but I also don't think ATL is crying over their Julio trade. And I doubt we would have to give up anything close to that to jump a couple of spots to grab him.

Honestly for a while I was an advocate of drafting almost every other need besides WR early. I even made a lengthy thread highlighting why I believed the Panthers wouldn't select a receiver in the first two rounds.

However, Patterson possesses all the natural talent you can't teach. He has an elusiveness and vision in the open field that reminds me of Chris Johnson. He hits the hole on kick and punt returns at full speed and is a threat to go the distance every time the ball is in his hands. He makes the first tackler miss almost every time and often the second pursuer just ends up looking silly trying to bring him down. He brings the ability to run out of the backfield and add even more wrinkles to account for and a defense cannot possibly ignore him.

He is raw from a receiving standpoint. His routes are pretty sloppy and he lets the ball get into his body too often when catching. However, these things can all be coached up and improved upon fairly quickly. I trust Ricky Proehl to develop Cordarrelle and watching 89 for a year or two would be beneficial for his development.

Patterson's upside is through the roof. At this stage in his career we need to begin to build around Cam Newton because the offense and this team's success goes as Cam does. I do not think he will go top 10...if he makes it by Miami I believe we will pull the trigger assuming he tears up the combine as I suspect he will.

Personally, I would be tempted to trade up a few spots to ensure we got the most explosive offensive player in the draft (assuming we knew someone like the Phins were going to take him).

However, I doubt our new GM would do it. He has expressed an intent to go about things with a mind to the future -- not making decisions at the expense of our future. He seems averse to trading up if it would cost much.

I really hope he is available at 14 and we select him.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
