    A few balls caught or dropped is the difference between being reliable and not. Between winning and losing. Between a good grade or a average one for your hands. Big play threats dont grow on trees so of course when supply is less then demand the perceived value of a player goes up. But from a physical standpoint he has the tools to live up to the hype. I think its more that many felt he wasnt the best wr on his own team at the start of the year so its almost like a meteoric when you factor in that plus the fact hes a junior one year removed from junior college.

    Good grade and average grade? If two receivers had 50 balls thrown their way, one receiver catches 45 and the other catches 43, you're telling me one is good and one is average? Granted one caught more balls than the other, but you would obviously have to asses their other qualities and characteristics that make up their game. I'm not disagreeing with you completely but there's defiantly a difference between Hunter and Patterson when it comes to catching balls, as for guys like Kennan Allen or Austin, not as much. They're comparable in that respect. Each guy is a bit unique and I don't judge receivers just off of percentage of balls dropped.

    First off, when players are scouted theyre scouted in different areas. For a wr, hands would be one of them. For each area grades are given, sometimes based on percentages. Thats what I was getting at. It may drop a player from "good" to "average" or "above average".

    What I find hilarious is that many scouts and twitter GM's knock Patterson for "Body catching" but he still high points the ball when hes supposed to and he has an elite athletic skillset which cant be taught. The things they knock him for like route running and blocking can be taught. You take your chances with the risk/reward if you want him imo.

    Agreed, depends on preference. As I stated earlier, if you want to take the risk, he's the number 1 guy at the position. If not, shy away. He's a first round talent, just not top 10 IMO.

    There's a free 5th. Haven't seen that since Minny punked the Dolphins.

    I was doing it all on my phone and didn't even realize it was only 1 pick up somehow. Oh we'll, a 5th to make sure I land the last stud LT is fine by me. Not quite as bad as the dolphins who gave up a 4th for a move up later in the draft

    Is there an award for villain of the year?

    Also are you trying to corner the market on DT's? And I thought Buffalo was stacked at DT ;p

    Look at the size of my DTs and how my run D faired last year. And you'll see why I picked star.

    Casey's a hell of a run stuffer. Mark's and Wimbley were your weak holes up front against the run. I guess it works out. Just odd that you need 4 DT's (2 run stuffers/2 pass rushers) to make it work and kinda points out why some teams like those DE/DT hybrids. Lotta young guys up front...maybe just needed more time to grow into run stuffers like Wake had to go thru.

    Awesome front line while you can hold it together.

    Edit: Ah I see another huge weak link in the run game. Colin McCarthy. Brutal run defense rating from PFF.

    Yes.

    Your so called #1 WR had 1 target his entire rookie year. Floyd meanwhile 45 Rec and 562 yards 2 tds. Not bad with awful QB throwing you the ball.

    then why don't you just keep him. Why are you so desperate to get rid of him?

    Because I have Fitzgerald and Roberts and I signed Meachem. I'm stacked at WR not sure if you noticed but I have plenty of needs. If no one bites I'll keep Floyd and end up with the best pass attack in the league. No biggie.
