Raiders cut WR James Jones

If he were a solid 4.4, sure-handed guy, I would be all over him.  

 

Boykin was the reason why the Packers were willing to let Jones walk, so we arguably have the younger, more sure-handed version right now.  Of course Boykin is no longer a Packer either, but that is because of the superior Davante Adams.  Boykin is arguably the more valuable receiver at this point (not to mention that he likely has the best hands on our team).

Is that a compliment about Boykin? From a Huddler? Holy f*%k  Hell's frozen over and that rumor about a 2+mile long comet hitting the Earth in September must be true! Everybody panic!!

You are either being funny, or you just missed the earlier this year. 

 

According to Sporting Charts:

 

2012 Boykin had 0 drops on 6 passes

2013 Boykin had 2 drops on 83 passes

2014 Boykin had 3 drops on 12 passes

 

Now, admittedly, Boykin fuged up last year.  I don't know whether he was hurt, had a lot on his mind or what, but I am going to assume that an injury may have led to the drops considering Packersfan's post:

 

 

See you November 8th in Carolina. Jarett Boykin was decent for us in 2013 with 49 catches and 681 receiving yards and 3 TDs. He didn't play hardly at all this last season due to injury then Adams took his spot. I wish him the best in Charlotte. Beat Dallas and Seattle for us and we will do the same.

 

 

So if you just look at his only real season, he had a drop rate of 2.4 percent.  That's pretty damned good.  I will take that any day of the week.  

 

But even if you take all the numbers into account---his first year and the skewed, fuged up last year---Boykin still has a 4.9 percent drop rate, which is statistically better than any wide receiver on our roster right now (at least those who have played pro snaps).  

 

And to be honest, if you look at his career YAC (5.2 per Yahoo Sports), he is likely the best there as well. 

 

I am just giving food for thought.

WR is the deepest position on this team, it's gonna be so cut throat at camp. Every single ball will have to be caught if any fringe guys expect to make it hard on the coaching staff.

It's crazy that after just one full yr after cutting Smitty that we're set at the WR position.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
