re: Would you trade a 3rd round pick for Cordarralle Patterson?

A 3rd rounder? 6th rounder is all I'd give up. What did we get for Sproles? A 5th? This guy is not worth more than Sproles.

young, fast, size, and potential at wide receiver

vs

old, fast, excels at what he does, but limited use at running back

two different kind of players, two different cost and value on the open market.

He'd garner a 3rd and I would have a hard time trading that. Players on rookie contracts (esp outside of 1st round) are cheap gold mines if they produce. Patterson would be pretty expensive 1-2mil cap hit for the next 2.5 years when we have other issues to take care of.
