One particular set of advanced stats highlighted a particular skillset that Clemson receiver Hunter Renfrow possessed that stood above all other receivers in this draft — he is a 5’10” Red Zone Master.That’s what SB Nation’s Bill Connelly dubbed him while naming him the number three sleeper receiver in this year’s draft.The saying goes you need a nice, big-bodied target to score in the red zone. This list could not push back harder on that truism. Metcalf, the biggest of big-bodied receivers, had the second-worst red zone catch rate and the worst per-target average of the group. David Sills V, another big body, scored an absurd number of touchdowns in college (33 in 2017-18) but required a metric ton of targets to pull it off. Notre Dame’s 6’4 Miles Boykin was also on the low end of the catch rate equation here.Meanwhile, Renfrow was by far the most efficient here Trayvon Mullen Jersey 2019 , proving mesh does what we think fade routes do in the red zone. Hollywood Brown, the second-best of the bunch from a catch rate perspective, is 5’10 as well. A.J. Brown and Terry McLaurin are 6’0, Terry Godwin 5’11.The Raiders got Renfrow at 149 overall in the 5th round, first collecting picks by trading down in other rounds, including the 158th overall pick in the 5th round, and then jumping up to get their new slot receiver and red zone guy.Follow @LeviDamien Raiders owner Mark Davis has seen a playoff contender disintegrate this year, thanks to the decisions to trade 聽Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper. And, of course Derek Carr Jersey White , Davis claims to have no regrets about the trades. Because what else is he going to say?He said a few things at last week’s quarterly meetings to NFL Media, and the things he said continue to create a perception that, when it comes to giving up on the pass-rusher and pass-catcher, there’s still plenty of passing the buck.“It was all Reggie doing those deals,” Davis said. “He seemed really happy about it.”Yes, blame it on Reggie McKenzie, the guy who’s now no longer there. The guy who, from the moment Jon Gruden returned to coach the team, lost any and all juice that the former G.M. had.They won’t be able to blame McKenzie (although they may try Clelin Ferrell Oakland Raiders Jersey , since he surely did plenty of advance work on the next draft) for what comes next: Turning the three first-round picks the Raiders have in April into great players. It’s the first time the Raiders have had extra first-round picks since the trade that sent Gruden to the Buccaneers.“And what did we do with that?” Davis said regarding the return on the Gruden deal. “You gotta get it right.”But here’s the thing Davis still doesn’t seem to realize. If you get it right, you gotta pay the players. Davis previously admitted that Mack was traded because of the inability to sign him to a new contract, and that Cooper was traded at least in part because he and Mack have the same agent, and Davis didn’t want a repeat of the Mack mess in 2019, when Cooper potentially held out in order to get a new deal.Those admissions amount to an invitation to play hardball with the Raiders, and if those three draft picks indeed become special players, the Raiders in three or four years will be right back in the middle of a financial conundrum. And then Davis can say he has no regrets about the decisions to trade them away, too.
