Peshek: CB Metrics 1.0

excerpt:

Cornerbacks are a bit more tricky than other positions when it comes to their metrics. If you read a previous post on the problems with CB stats, you’ll understand that the stats are rather ambiguous and can be tricky when taken at face value. I’ll try to be transparent and put them in context, but there are many more confounding factors than say…with a running back.

All numbers are hand charted by me. Because a target or ‘burn’ may be a bit subjective, the numbers won’t always line up with other stat services. However, I’ve used the same criteria for each player which means we can at least compare these stats to each other on an objective basis.

Archive:

QB Metrics featuring Teddy Bridgewater, Derek Carr, Blake Bortles and Johnny Manziel.

WR Metrics 1.0 featuring Sammy Watkins, Mike Evans, Marqise Lee and Kelvin Benjamin.

WR Metrics 2.0 featuring Brandin Cooks, Jordan Matthews, Jarvis Landry, Odell Beckham and Allen Robinson.

Dennard is clearly the best CB in the draft O_O

Jason Verrett could be interesting at #28, though I doubt that. I recall reading/hearing Rivera say that he prefers not to take CBs early in the draft due to a lack of technique coming out of college.

another good read. Mitchell is somebody that i have been looking into lately and  he has played many different types of coverages. has a low completion % in many different areas. i am a Roby fan as well. the scheme he was in didnt do him any favors, but still the talent is there. he did have a bad game vs Jared Abbrederis

Wasted away my day watching corners on draft breakdown today.

I'm beginning to think Purifoy will be there when we pick in the second. He needs to add a little muscle. He's quick enough where adding a little muscle isn't going to hurt his speed too much.

Stanley Jean-Baptiste is someone who intrigues me. There aren't many bigger corners in this draft and I like SJB better than McGill (Utah) and Dontae Johnson (NCST). We play in a division with big WR's (Colston, VJax, Julio). SJB vertical speed lacks, but he's physical and can jam guys. McGill may be the faster of the two but SJB is ALOT better against the run from the games I've seen. I see Brandon Browner when I see SJB. None of these guys compare to Sherman as Sherman is a superior athlete compared to these guys.

Antone Exum (6', 220) is a guy id be happy with if we got him in the fifth. Can play safety as well. I wouldn't be mad if the sole purpose for drafting him is to cover Jimmy Graham. Exum is strong enough to out muscle Graham. We all know how nonexistent Graham becomes when people get physical with him.

I don't think he'll last that long to be honest. Right now, he's viewed as a borderline first round talent. If he has a good combine, I think he'll jump up draft boards. In fact, I'll be shocked if Kyle isn't the second or third corner taken in this draft.

Yea I wouldn't even be mad if we did take him in the first, as long as it wasn't over Benjamin or Lee (or a couple of the OTs in particular who have a shot of lasting to us). I'd prefer Matthews, Robinson, Amaro or ASJ over him as of now, but I wouldn't be mad.

    • Sellers is absolutely one to keep an eye on. Could be the next Cam or could be the next Anthony Richardson. Curious to see how he has progressed come this fall.
    • I think Texas could go 0-12 and he would still go #1 based on his name and traits like you say.  But nusselman and sellers may be actually better qbs.    Man if bryce stinks it up this season its looking like a damn good year to swap out qbs.  Sellers highlights are just fuging jaw dropping
    • I mean, the kid comes from a wealthy family. It's not like he needs the money. He has a ton of potential now we get to see what he can do as a starter. Everyone penciling him in as the #1 overall pick is putting the cart way before the horse. It's 5% because of his talent and what he's showing on the field and 95% because his last name is Manning. And if he is what he's hyped to be the Texas coaching staff needs to be answering some tough questions about why the kid wasn't on the field sooner. Ewers was a good college QB but he's definitely not a "keep a future #1 overall pick waiting" type of college QB. Only getting one season out of a top NFL talent because you chose to keep him buried behind a borderline NFL talent is just coaching negligence. Not starting him as a true freshman? Yeah, I get that. But on year two if the kids is what he's hyped to be you gotta wish Ewers well elsewhere and turn the page.
