Projecting the 2011 WR Class
Covering the NFL draft can be a tricky proposition. Many of the things stated thus far both on my big board and on my “draft steals” sections have been acquired through subjective measures. All of this analysis, however, has got me thinking about ways to project NFL success . What I did with my roommate Josh was to see how 40 times and college receiving yards impacted rookie receiving yards. The results were both intriguing and statistically significant. We compiled a list of receivers taken in the first 3 rounds during the 2010,2009,and 2008 drafts with their 40 times and their college receiving stats. The table below is an example of what we compiled.
Name | 40 Time | College Receiving Yards | Rookie Receiving Yards |
4.38 | 1154 | 283 | |
4.52 | 1480 | 561 | |
4.42 | 1055 | 379 | |
4.36 | 1080 | 227 | |
4.53 | 707 | 195 | |
4.58 | 929 | 468 | |
4.41 | 1339 | 376 | |
4.6 | 1485 | 600 | |
4.54 | 758 | 113 | |
4.49 | 1334 | 307 | |
4.43 | 0 | 0 | |
4.41 | 784 | 41 |
