Cordarrelle Patterson


Recommended Posts

There's rumors that he might slip to the tail-end of the first round. He has great hands and is extremely athletic. He's lethal with the ball in his hands. He's physical with DBs and can fight for the ball in the air.

 

The only real knock against him is that he's raw and it's evident in his route-running. He tends to rely purely on his athleticism. He also sometimes catches passes with his body.

 

I think his ceiling is extremely high and he'd be a great #2 and eventual replacement for Reggie.

 

Thoughts?

Well for one thing if he falls it'd be a miracle. I can't see him getting past the rams. Second with the addition of DHB its not likely we go wr in the first

 

The Rams will likely take Tavon Austin IMO. If the Steelers take Jarvis Jones than I think it's reasonable to assume that he'd fall to us. I guess it depends on if Minnessota takes a receiver with their 1st or 2nd pick.

 

I also don't think that DHB affects the draft at all.

Doubt he falls to 24.. But if so, I would not be against taking a WR

 

Do not believe the DHB signing impacts the draft... Just a 1-year prove it deal. So he could have a great year and ask more than we can pay. Plus 87 can't play forever.

 

Would not be upset about this

I'd love to have him. Reggie can fix the issues regarding being raw. :-)

Patterson is special with the ball in his hands. Haven't seen someone like him in a few years in that regard.

 

Horrendous when it comes to route running, and I hate the fact that he catches with his body, not with his hands. 

 

Gotta love that potential though...

 

Worth a look at, but I would pass. That's just me though.

Of all the WR's,  Patterson is the one that makes me the most nervous.

 

Yes, he has a very high ceiling.    But I also read/hear that he has the lowest floor of all the top WR's.    Frankly, players like that don't make me happy.    A real boom or bust type player is not what I want.

 

I hear he's not real mature...   young on the field,  young off the field.    With so many other top quality WR's,  I think I'd be more comfortable with one of the other five...

 

In no particular order...

 

Hopkins,  Hunter,  Allen,  Woods,  Patton.

 

And some of those guys will be available in the 2nd round....

    • This is one of the most bizarre and complicated stories I’ve ever come across. But I give you my word, this is NOT about an entitled athlete.  I’d say so if it was.     Sheffler was doing what all the athletes were told to do if there was a problem.  He was in a car clearly marked that he was a player.  He had  credential that he showed.  All the players were told to drive around if there was any problem.      But it appears there was a miscommunication with the Louisville PD.  They didn’t send their best, they sent their junior varsity who were completely unprepared for what happened.  They didn’t know that the athletes had clearance to go around.  Turns out, ESPN was right behind Scheffler.  They were doing a feature on him.  And they said he did exactly what was instructed to do by PGA officials.      If this was an entitled athlete abusing law enforcement I’d be saying so.  Honestly, I would.  But I’ve read multiple stories and this is what I’ve pieced together.  
    • I liked what little we saw from Evan Hull in preseason last year. Hoping he can solidify himself as a good #2 back to spell for JT.
    • When I saw that I was stunned and not just for the Colts but the Jets??!! Granted the Jets are improved over last year but SIX primetime games. I was in New York once and that will hold true after I'm dead.
    • It turns out that he comes from a family and a school with very accomplished women. Not only is his mother a physicist, his sister is a Physician's Assistant who studied at Weill Cornell Graduate School right here on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in NY. His paternal aunt is a senior vice president of a firm. And his graduating class at Georgia Tech had over 50 women graduate in industrial engineering.   He did not bother to mention any of that. He may be the least academically successful member of his family.    https://www.thedailybeast.com/harrison-butkers-atlanta-hometown-scolds-him-over-commencement-speech     That comes across loud and clear.   As for the school being Catholic, there are many Catholic schools that don't preach that. I wonder if Notre Dame would ever invite him to address grads. I doubt it. A group affiliated with the school said that Butker does not represent them. They said that instead of bringing people together, his address was divisive.     https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5502923/2024/05/18/harrison-butker-benedictine-sisters-jersey?source=user-shared-article
    • Yeah... I love how genuinely excited he is by this whole process. From videos coming into the building, to videos of the introduction to his helmet, to just any interview really... he seems so thankful and exuberant. Love his whole demeanor. There's very little to nothing that seems rehearsed or contrived like most of the prospects nowadays... This is not a dig at other players - they are all media coached and prepared so much in the pre-draft process that they lose a lot of their personality in front of the camera. I don't think this is the case with Laiatu.
