23 catches 365 yards.

Obviously Lloyd is more of a deep threat, and Patten has been banged up this year a lot, but not that big a difference in terms of overall production.

Sure would be nice to have those 3rd and 4th round picks though.

I don't think you can compare these two.

Patten is in his 11th year Lloyd is in his 4th.

LLoyd can block and go deep. Patten is the 5th reciever on this team.

And Patten by the way is going to make more next year than Lloyd.
