Performing better than the average Amendola is not very difficult.

Ellington and Patton will be in the mix for the #3-WR whereas they haven been #4 and ä5 respectively in the most time of the last season. Patton's scouting report and the limited game tape of him in our dress clearly shows that he can be at least a very good #3 if not even #2-WR here.
Patton's scouting report by NFL.com:

Imho, the report sounds like as if it is about a 1st-2nd-round-prospect.
" In his two seasons starting, however, he has showing NFL teams paying close attention that he possesses the hands, route-running skills, and toughness to be a top-64 pick -– and, eventually, a very good starter."

Ellington's scouting report:
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/bruce-ellington?id=2543646

This is what Mayock said about AJ Jenkins:
"Had a big senior season. Had him rated as my eighth wide receiver and a second-round pick. He's a vertical threat who gets in and out of his breaks smoothly. This is a good football player."

I read the scouting report about Patton as saying there is a chance he goes in the top 64 (a borderline 2nd round pick). NFL teams certainly didn't have 1st or even 2nd round grades for him as he fell all the way to the 4th round, pick 128.

Ellington was another 4th rounder and neither has shown that much so I'm not counting on them to step in and become #2 WR's. If it happens, great, but I'd rather draft a WR and have too much depth if one of them develop. We will need to replace Boldin in a couple years anyways.

I actually disagree that both Patton and Ellington have not shown enough! Both haven't had many chances to shine in this offense but with the few shots they got they showed glimpses of what they could do given an offense that knows how to utilize all if it's weapons. Ellington could be very useful on underneath drag routes and outs just like the patriots do with Edelman....not to mention his returning ability. And Patton just finds ways to make plays, whether it be on screens or go routes up the sideline. The thing I like most about Patton is his fire!! He is always running around celebrating big plays and trying to get the others pumped up. I'd rather have a guy like that on the field when they are having trouble getting things to click than somebody like Crabtree. Sure I'd like one more fast playmaker to go with these two, SJ, Boldin, and VD; but I'm praying most of all that Chryst can do like mcdaniels did in the Super Bowl and get everybody involved!!

Well they had a chance to shine during training camp to beat out players like SJ and Lloyd for snaps and Patton wasn't even active for game days. I like both players and it is way to soon to be moving on from either, but people need to realize that they did have chances in practices and training camp to show the coaching staff they deserve snaps....Patton especially lost out to two WRs that weren't even on the team the year before.

I didn't say that we should ignore the WR in the draft at all I was just laying out some facts about our WR-talent, their draft position in particular.
