Interesting Stats - G.Jennins related (1 Viewer)

[Macdaddy_2004]

So I was trying to gauge the type of season I can expect from a rookie this year and looked back at the top performing rookie WR's of the past 5 years. I'm pretty sure I got it right but if not let me know

2005 - Reggie Brown - 43/571/4

2004 - Mike Clayton - 80/1193/7

2003 - Andre Johnson - 66/976/4

2002 - Antonio Bryant - 44/733/6

2001 - Chris Chambers - 48/883/7

I'm trying to gauge just how valuble grabbing the top rookie in this year's draft class is.

Right now I'm betting that Greg Jennins is the guy and trying to gauge his ceiling/floor.

I think he's much more polished than Reggie Brown and has opportunity similiar to Mike Clayton. The coaching staff has compared him to Marvin Harrison who put up 64/836/6 his rookie year.

Thought and/or opinions ??

I watched Jennings all preseason (Pack homer) and he runs great routes and gets open. He's very good in open space. Brett also seems to like him and has already developed a good chemistry with Jennings. He did however seem to drop a number of passes that he should have hauled in. I think he has tremendous upside though and could supplant Driver in the years to come. This year he should be a solid number three receiver (in fantasy) and could reach Clayton's numbers from 2004.

Anquan Boldin down? Or were you just not impressed by his 101/1377/8 in 2003? Also, it wasn't as good as Clayton's year in 2004, but Lee Evans' 48/843/9 as a rookie was another truly remarkable rookie performance.

I like Chris Henrys stats better for 2005, considering how little he got on the field. 31/422/6

I wouldn't compare his opportunity to Clayton's rookie year. Clayton was the beneficiary that year of Keenan McCardell's holdout (and trade to San Diego), and injuries to Galloway and Jurevicius that caused them to miss 6 games each (and they were not full speed in several more). The only other wideouts were Charles Lee and an ancient Tim Brown, who combined for 39/407/1. So Clayton was basically force-fed the ball ala Muhsin Muhammed when Steve Smith went down a couple of years ago.If Driver were to get hurt and miss significant time, then he would have an opportunity similar to Clayton's rookie year.

Actually, Boldin was in a similar situation of being the only real offensive weapon that his team had. Plus, the Cardinals were 8th in passing attempts that year, and 29th in rushing attempts. That helps, too.

And I think there may be a similarity with that statistic. Green Bay is certainly going to throw the ball, and it's unknown whether A.Green/Gado are going to be able to do much more than E.Smith/Shipp did for the Cardinals that year.

I still think that Driver will eat up a lot of the targets this year, but it will be interesting to watch.

(Disclosure: I am a Bucs fan, and I happen to have Clayton, Driver, AND Jennings on my team this year.)
