Re: We need a beast WR
Also, IMO Patterson would have been a late 3rd round pick had he been in last year's draft. Streeter was a late 6th rounder. I'm not saying Streeter is a comparable player, but to say that their respective talent levels heading into their rookie years was 183 picks apart is far fetched.
I think Patterson is far more likely to catch less than 20 balls in 2013 than he is to catch over 70.

Re: We need a beast WR
Really? Hyperbole much?
I get it. But no one knows how any of these guys will transition. Doss was supposed to have the best hands in the entire draft 2 years ago.
Point is Patterson is a consensus 1st rd talent that compares favorably to some bigtime current WRs in the NFL.
I wouldn't be surprised if he is gone by 15. I haven't seen a single mock draft that had Patterson as low as 40-45.

Re: We need a beast WR
Of those 4 I think only Austin and Patterson provide true explosiveness, which is one of the main things I am looking for.
I agree Hopkins and Allen would be solid. But I don't think they are explosive.
I get everyone will have different opinions.
But Mayock has Patterson #1.
McShay has Patterson right behind Austin.

Re: We need a beast WR
He may be ranked #1, but I'd bet that Ozzie would never trade #1, #2, and #3 picks for him. I'm actually on Luke's side, and here are Patterson's college stats :

Re: We need a beast WR
Not a huge fan of Patterson. Underwhelming production, not much polish, small hands (smaller than Austin's).
He seems more a developmental prospect than others. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he were a DHB-type. Count me in the group that thinks he's overrated.

Count me in the anti-Patterson group as well. I think people are getting blinded by the speed/size combination. Unless you're Al Davis you don't want to pay up for a guy like this.

Re: We need a beast WR
The whole premise of this thread is that we need a "beast mode" receiver opposite Torrey Smith and this is not necessary. Yes we have very little depth behind Torrey so there should be an effort to draft a receiver but not in the first round. Something tells me Ozzie will continue to shop for a veteran receiver up until draft time.

Re: We need a beast WR
If the Ravens are to deal away multiple/future draft picks I would prefer they do it for an established player so then they at least know what they are getting.It's one thing to gamble multiple picks when a team is desperate to move up and draft a Luck or an RG3, but to do that for a marginally talented player who at this point has yet to prove anything at the NFL level would be a risk the Ravens don't need to take.
