This is a great look at the leagues corners in particular ours

1. Nnamdi Asomugha, Oakland Raiders
Season Totals: 29 attempts, 4.97 YPA, 62.07 Forced INC%, 0 TDs, 1 INT

My two cents: Was this the best season every for a CB? Asomugha was only thrown at 29 times the entire season and allowed just 9 receptions. He allowed two catches (both to Tony Gonzalez) over an eight game span in the middle of the season. He allowed 144 yards receiving for the season, and 46 of those came on one play against the Chargers where he misjudged an underthrown pass to Vincent Jackson. If a CB has had a better season than this, I’d like to see the numbers.

6. Chris Johnson, Oakland Raiders
Season Totals: 49 attempts, 5.39 YPA, 53.06 Forced INC%, 1 TD, 3 INTs

My two cents: Where the heck did this guy come from? Who Knows Rolling Eyes After the releasing of DeAngelo Hall, Chris Johnson stepped in and dominated opposing WRs. Johnson had some of the best numbers in the NFL and if not for limited playing time he would be ranked even higher. Many people probably just looked at the box score during a Week 16 victory over Houston and thought it was Nnamdi Asomugha who shutdown Andre Johnson. While Asomugha didn’t allow a catch in that game, Johnson had an equally impressive afternoon. Johnson was thrown at seven times, allowed four yards, and intercepted a pass. In fact, the four yards that Johnson allowed were the only yards yielded by an Oakland CB that game.

11. Stanford Routt, Oakland Raiders
Season Totals: 40 attempts, 5.33 YPA, 50.00 Forced INC%, 2 TDs, 0 INTs

My two cents: Stanford Routt greatly improved this season. He teamed up with Nnamdi Asomugha and Chris Johnson to give the Raiders the best CB trio in the NFL. He only had 40 passes thrown at him playing only in passing situations, so I’m not ready to crown him a great CB. Even though he was a nickel back, he still had numbers worthy of praise.

David White a writer for the San Fran Chronicle is updating his twitter on minicamp continuously. Hopefully he will get a chance to see DHB and Mitchell playing, even for non contact drills itd be awesome if DHB could burn Aso once or twice. If he can do that he can burn anyone

Apparently Neal is a raider, Burgess is a no show, Miller, Oren Oneil and Arman Shields are all present but not practicing.

Im gunna just lay out the statistics on crabtree and texas tech and DHB and maryland

Texas Tech

They had 465 passes completed out of 662 of which crabtree accounted for 97 so he accounted for 21%

Crabtree had 19 touch downs last year. Texas Tech had 48 touchdowns passing and 76 total

Crabtree accounted for 40% of recieving touchdowns and 25% of total touchdowns

Texas Tech was picked off 10 times

Graham Harrell had a rating of 160

Crabtree had a reception every game

There were two other wide recievers playing for texas with 70+ receptions and 4 with 30+

Crabtree had two rushing attempts for 1 yard

Maryland

Had 229 passes completed out of 339 of which Heyward Bey accounted for 42 so 18%

Over three years bey averaged 15.4, 15.4 and 14.5 yards per catch

DHB had 5 recieving touchdowns and 1 rushing. Maryland had 15 touchdowns passing and 33 total.

Bey accounted for 33% of passing touchdowns and 18% of the total touchdowns

Maryland was picked off 13 times last year

Chris Turner had a rating of 119.3

There were 5 other recievers/tightends playing for maryland with 20+ receptions

DHB also had 202 rushing yards and averaged 13.5 yards per carry

Unfourtunately i couldnt find any really detailed stats like how many times each reciever was targeted and yac etc, if anyone knows a good site for that ill update this.

This guy is going to turn out to be one of our better picks this year even though no one but raiders fans will know who he is.

Even the Raider haters at espn have said this guy could prove to be a steal

Myers is not a pass catcher and pretty much all of the criticism with him is problems with getting a clean release and getting seperation. However he is an incredibly physical tight end and good blocker which will allow Miller to go out and catch rather than having to stay in and block. and obviously it will help our run game.

Darius heyward bey is from a pro style offense, last year the top rookie recievers were Eddie Royal from tech and Desean Jackson from Cal. While neither of these teams really run a true pro offense they dont run any extreme spread offense either. Watch a game with Crabtree or Maclin not there highlights. You will see that what they do best is screens and short hitches were they would get the ball almost immediately after the snap. This is effective in college but besides working occasionally in the nfl its not used much because it doesnt work. More examples. Remember the 2007 draft. Top rookie wideouts based on production in the nfl are obviously Calvin Johnson and Dwayne Bowe. Calvin Johnson played for Georgia Tech which runs a options all day. While not a pro style offense CJ is obviously a freak of nature and could have played for navy and been drafted second overall. Dwayne Bowe on the other hand turned out to be an excellent NFL player after playing in LSU's pro style offense.
Also just wanted to say that this is one of the weakest drafts in a long time and if you need any proof the one team that even if you dont like you cannot deny they have some of the best talent evaluators, the patriots, completely left the first round.
