    I noticed Pro Football Focus published another one of their league-wide statistical analysis's and noticed a familiar name coming in at #20 on the best WR list for drop rate.

    apparently out of 50 catchable balls thrown his way, Lavelle caught 47 this year, the best rate of any TN wideout.

    Interesting to see what becomes of him in coming years. I really think he's starting to find his niche.


    Of note also, we had none of the 20 worst. Good to see we don't have any standout droppers on the team.

    I was very proud of our WR core as a whole towards the end of the season. They really seemed to step it up.

    I'm on the fence about keeping Hawkins. Used to like him, but when he finally breaks out and shows he's worth something, I begin to wonder if it was a fluke. He's got a strange personality, hard to figure that dude out. Not sure what he's really about.

    You let Hawkins hit FA and see what he is worth. If the price is right then sign him. I just don't see him getting any sort of big money. He might want to stay here so that he doesn't have to learn another system since it seems like he had an issue with that.

    I would like to see his gameday roster spot replaced with a rookie true burner at WR who also could be another return specialist as a backup to Mariani.

    Agreed. Someone like Kendall Wright from Baylor would be a perfect fit on our team and be a sort of change of pace from Kenny. I'd really Like to see them go WR early in rounds 1 or 2 but doubt it happens.

    Let's be honest, you can find a guy who can get 420 yards and one touchdown on 42 catches anywhere. If he stays, great. If he goes, oh well.

    It's his TD's that worry me, or lack of really. He's not at all a redzone threat.

    I'm pretty sure his only TD was a result of the DB falling down too.

    Maybe the balls weren't catchable because he totally ran the wrong route and turned the wrong way?

    exactly...wright would be our first round pick and we should go defense...only way we get wright is if we trade cj and get more firsts which wont happen this year and im on the fence still with hawkins...he hasnt showed me enough consistency yet
