From a Kiper article in which he identifies the top Day 3 players he thinks have the best chance to make an impact this year. His first one for offense:


Quinton Patton, WR, No. 128 to San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers depth chart at wide receiver already has seen Anquan Boldin added, and A.J. Jenkins, last year's first-round pick, is still ready to break into the rotation. But I think Patton could gain some early reps. In my draft guide I had him written up as, "a solid second-round range prospect." Well, the 49ers got him in the fourth. Patton isn't a burner, but is a good route runner and creates spaces, and where the 49ers will see his value is in his ability to win battles for contested throws. He's hugely productive because he can bring in anything. It might not be in Week 1, but I think he can break in.
