Would you trade Patten for depth?

Agreed. No doubt it is a concern at this point, and an area everyone should be watching. But we definitely have to give it a chance to see what we have. Trying to judge the backup lineman in one preseason game isn't really fair. Let's see what they do over the next few weeks; my guess is a couple will start to emerge as viable backups.

But in the end I wouldn't trade Patten at all (please don't ask me if I'd trade him for a first rounder, because I'm only considering the realistic). He will be very valuable for us at some point this season.
