WR Quinton Patton, Louisiana Tech (South Team)
Although this year's senior wide receiver group doesn't have a lock first-round talent, Quinton Patton is making a strong case to be considered among the top-32 picks. Thus far at practice, he has looked more impressive than Baylor's Terrance Williams and others with his controlled athleticism to separate and change gears.
DE Datone Jones, UCLA (North Team)
He is very strong from head to toe and does a nice job using his powerful arms and hands to rip past blockers. He wasn't overly productive as a pass rusher at UCLA, largely due to the fact that he was moved all over the Bruins' hybrid 3-4 scheme, but he did make 19 tackles for loss as a senior with his impressive blend of burst and power to dispose of blockers at the point of attack.

Frustrating. I was hoping Patton's stock would stay low. He's somewhere between my #3 and #6 ranked wide receiver, a lot closer to 3 than 6, and his draft stock might reflect that. Not going to get him at a value.

Yeah. I've been thinking 2A with him all along, but now I'm not sure he will be there. It's hard to ignore his ability to control his body, ability to separate, ability to high point the ball, and his overall production. Based on my calculations, he's the 2nd most productive wide receiver in this draft that I've looked at relative to the offense he plays in. His productivity score of 91 was bested only by Stedman Bailey's 107, which is off the charts but not quite what Dez Bryant's was in 2010. Dez had a 123 productivity score.
