I'm really interested in Patterson, big bust potential but also seems to have incredible upside... could develop into Julio Jones 2.0 with more speed.

Or Troy Williamson 2.0. And no he's not faster then Julio. Julio is a legit 4.34 guy. Patterson was a 4.39 unofficial 4.41 official.

Patterson definitely has a high ceiling and if he reaches that potential you have no problem backing up the bank truck to his house when his contract is up. He is raw but all these guys need coaching coming into the league and we dont need him to be dominant from day 1 since we still have smitty and Olsen. But him or Austin would be upgrades to the offense, its always been up in the air between both of them to me.

Patterson also has a very Low Floor.

Texas and WVU played last year and Vaccaro covered Tavon Austin in the slot. It wasn't pretty for Tavon. Vaccaro flat out put Austin on lock down. Tavon I think is a tad bit overrated. His size scares the living crap out of me. Vaccaro's game against Tavon Austin is his calling card. Vaccaro isn't a perfect prospect at this point in time but the flaws in his game are correctable. Vaccaro can provide you with a lot of versatility. Gil Brandt.thinks he's just as good as Mark Barron from last year. We're going against the best tight ends in the league this year so having a guy that can make things tough on them is a priority I would imagine. Atlanta=Gonzales, Saints=Jimmy Graham, San Fran=Vernon Davis, Pats=Gronk.

Did he really say that? Vaccaro and Barron are very different safeties.

I think if Tavon Austin is available at 14, of course you have to consider him. He will contribute as a wide receiver, runningback, and return specialist, immediately upgrading 3 positions.

The Vaccaro pick I don't think is really in play as much. He may be a fall back option, but I don't see him as being in true contention at 14 with some of the other guys likely to be there. Just my opinion.

Problem is that we don't need help at the return specialist or RB position right now.

Week 6: West Virginia's Tavon Austin caught 10 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown, rushed once for six yards, returned one punt for 3 yards and three kickoffs for 111 yards in the Mountaineers 48-45 win at Texas on Oct. 6.

So Tavon is so dynamic, that holding him to only 102 yards and a TD is locking him down???

Ginns only on a one year deal. And was a smart pick up, because if you dont get a guy in the draft, you have an insurance policy. Also DLo may be gone after this season. Could cover a lot of ground next season...

Live in Texas, so watched that WVU/Tex game (not a fan of either team-go gamecocks) and I'm pretty sure they put him on Austin in the second half after most the damage was done. So if you actually break it down, Austin had one big 40 yard TD in the first half, and baily did all the work in the second out side of some big kick returns (which isn't Vaccaro"s fault). Just saying.. You can't look at box scores to tell what really happened.

Good break down.

If my man Vaccaro can really lock down my man Tavon, he's 14 worthy! ;)
