Quote:I think it is stupid to not want somebody anymore because he played two bad games. One of them was against Alabama, the eventual national champion.

 

What are some other reasons Vernon Hargreaves is no longer the most-liked draft prospect at his position?

I think it is because he dropped off some from last year. At the beginning of the season, Alexander, Fuller, Hargreaves, Ramsey, and Apple were quite even. The following stats were from the beginning of the 2014 season to a few weeks into the start of the 2015 season. Their completion percentage ranged from 34.9% (Alexander, lowest) to 48.3% (Ramsey, highest)*. Yards per completion from 4.8 (Hargreaves, lowest) to 6.67 (Fuller, highest). Although, Ramsey was technically the lowest at this point of the season if you only include his stats as a cornerback. Target rate, once again, very similar range.


Come seasons end, Hargreaves stats kinda plummeted. He gave up almost 50% completions for 16.5 yards per completion. The others kind of stayed in that same range.


*Stats from bringing on 2014 to first few weeks of 2015 season, so includes Ramsey's play as safety in 2014. Opponents had completed 38 percent of throws and averaged 3.13 yards-per-attempt at this time when he was at cornerback.
