That's why I hope we get to trade down BUT if we don't and would take Tavon I have nooooooooooo problem with that pick. He will be ROTY in '13' is my prediction for this kid. And like CaliforniaChief said, "He is THAT GOOD"!!

I would argue that Patterson is faaaaaaaar more of a risk than Austin IMO. Austin is proven not just 1yr but 3yrs of consistent playmaking at the D1 level unlike Patterson. Patterson's maturity level bothers me. We already have 2 BIG WR Drama Queens and we sure in the hell don't need 3. But I hope Reid can reign in Baldwin and get his game on.

I think Cordarrelle Patterson in the top 10 would be an epic mistake. Given the choice between the two, I'd take Austin in a no-brainer. You can line him up anywhere and he's going to make big plays for you. I understand that he's undersized, but Patterson is a knucklehead.

JMO.

Trade down a few hopefully so we can get Wilson, bray, etc in two. And take this kid. I'd be happy

Put Austin out there with Bowe and Charles and that's about a three headed monster.

I bet Patterson is a bust.

Austin is a freak. The kid makes other speed athletes look silly.

I'm not worried about his size...there are plenty of guys in the NFL who do very well at his size or smaller.

He's just not a 1.1 pick. If you trade back and get him, terrific.

Can you name 5 without looking them up?

I like Austin but there is no one else in the NFL at 5'8, 174 or smaller doing "well".

They're generally gadget players, like McCluster.

It depends on where he goes in the draft but I don't see "stud", Pro Bowler, etc.

DeSean Jackson is like as close as you can get to Tavon's size that you can argue is doing well.

Welker is like 190lbs. Same with Steve Smith.

We need a kick return man that can take it to the house. If we drafted him at 1.1 I wouldn't be upset one little bit.

If we trade down into the teens I like him.

I get it...the looking up part would discredit the point...? ROFL

Steve Smith
Wes Welker
DeShawn Jackson
Earnest Givens
Mel Gray

Anytime a statement is made about other players being successful, there is always a douchebag waiting with that request. Thanks for keeping the streak alive jd1020.

Have you even seen Austin play?

So you couldn't think of 5 that play right now and had to go back decades to fill the list. Also, Welker and Smith have like 20 lbs on Austin.

Glad to know there are "several" successful 5'9 170lb NFL players and that the majority don't end up as cast offs.
