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).

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.

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      By frankw · Posted

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      Get ready for ‘SUPER MEN: The inside story of the 2015 Carolina Panthers’

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the favorites and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destroying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, not many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that defense took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.
