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

Nah. I think we could quite easily work on o line with 1st and second rounders. I'm a firm believer that the best way to improve our defense in the time we still have Brees is to have a complete juggernaut for our offense who keeps constant pressure on other teams offense to keep up. I honestly don't trust our club to bring in rookie difference makers on d. I'd rather any fa money we have on proven defensive commodities

I mean most teams have hard times producing good rookie corners at a high rate. Even teams with solid track records of making a top tier corners i.e. cleveland = haden, but gilbert is pretty bad even though he was rated #1cb overall. Striking gold on rookie corners is hard to do. A lot just don't pan out, and some just become average.

I just think the way we are, we don't need to be loading up on anymore weapons right now, not this year (2015) at least. We need new interior OLineman and in the 3rd round, I'd be more comfortable finding a new lineman than trying to make patterson into something when we have a hard time turning ours into something as well (toon)
