*This article, and
rankings are a precursor to our 2012 NFL Draft
class research. We cannot complete full 2012
prospect ratings
until the players go through the NFL Combine.
The 2012 ratings will be released on our new
college prospect website launching in February
2012.
With the interest
in our published work on a Moneyball/statistical
modeling of college QBs, RBs, and WRs, the
natural progression of reader interest led to
folks inquiring about ratings/algorithms
regarding all the other NFL positions.
Initially, our
work concentrated offensive positions...as
that always draws the most interest. The
offensive position focus also fits well with the
traditional Fantasy Football owner.
As our fan-base has broadened, individual
defensive players have been increasingly asked
about...especially with the growing count of
Dynasty League Fantasy Football owners following
our work. We have been tinkering with the
defensive possibilities for the past couple years, and
ramped up efforts in the past year or so.
As a rewind,
our work is based on the fact that we are not
NFL/college scouts, In fact, when it comes to
college CBs...I couldn't name you one of them in
the 2012 NFL Draft class. I know there is
supposed to be a good one from LSU, and that's
it. Now, you may want to click the "x" in the
upper right-hand side of this web page upon
hearing that...but that "lack of awareness" is
the genesis of our work here. A few years
ago, I realized there is no way for me to see
all of these college prospects. What attempts at
scouting I did make, I brought my own "visual
bias" into it.
I can easily tell the
difference between my personal speed versus
Deion Sanders on tape, but it's harder to
delineate who is faster, more agile, stronger,
etc. between a bunch of high-end college
athletes. They all look good to me! With the
visual inspections, comes a certain bias...I might favor players from a certain
conference, or "hate" a certain team...and
therefore being subconsciously biased against
certain players. I might like
brunettes, you may prefer blondes...and we could
argue all day on which supermodel is the most
attractive. The fact is most prospects look
"good" to my eyes...but how do we determine
which one is "the best", or even "better"
than another"...or which ones might
be a hidden "bust?"
When I read the
book Moneyball, I always wondered (as did many)
if the theory of Billy Beane's could be
achieved for the NFL/college players...could you
build a database, and utilize the data to
concoct a formula/model to divine/project
college prospects to pros...or sniff out trouble
prospects? I love numbers, I love sports, I love
business, I have a finance background, and I
hate to be wrong...and for a long time, I was
wrong as much I was right about projecting college football
players heading to the pros.
A few years
back, I asked myself...what exactly was I doing
to figure out if I "liked" a prospect? I would
read a snippet from a magazine or website. Hear
something on the radio. I figured highly drafted
players were better than not highly
drafted ones. I liked Ryan Leaf, because
I disliked Peyton Manning...for no good
reason, besides the fact that I thought Peyton
was "arrogant". That certainly turned out to be
a great "scouting" effort by me. The fact was, I
was an idiot...actually, I was ignorant. I
really knew very little about these college
players, just my own "gut" feelings...and my gut
was right sometimes, and was wrong just as much.
The problem
with my "gut" was, much of it was based on
short-burst media sound-bytes. I didn't know it,
but it wasn't my gut that was wrong...it was the
media (...and ultimately that's still my fault). Not only the media, but several NFL teams
were wrong over and over. There is a reason that
the New England Patriots (or Giants for that
matter) are perpetually in the Super Bowl, while
many other franchises haven't been there in
decades. There is a method to any madness, and I
set out to develop my own method/madness...an
easy way for me to profile college prospects,
without all the tedious/unproductive tape
watching.
I don't know
anything about "loose-hips," or any other of the
scouting buzz-word scouts assign to defensive
backs. In the Moneyball story, one of the center
pieces is taking away the visual bias and
looking for something relevant that could be
quantified. Most scouts hated the way/motion
that Philip Rivers threw a football (but
loved the way Blaine Gabbert threw it). I
don't care what a prospect looks like, I have
never laid eyes on 99% of them before we run the
calculations. We have taken all the data we
could find on prospects, and started running
various calculations to see if any patterns
emerged.
I didn't care
what I thought might be important, it
only matters what the data says is important. If
all great CBs have blue hair in college, and all lesser NFL
CBs don't have blue hair...then I'm taking blue haired CB prospects
much more seriously. It's an over simplification
of the work we did, but we look at several solo
and combination pieces of data to determine what
shows to be more predictive in college
prospects.
I cannot look
all the college prospects in the eye, and
interview them. We try to look at clues through
Wonderlic scores, TV interviews, rap sheets,
etc...but that info is flawed and hard to judge.
There is always the problem that an athlete can
be physically great, a great college performer,
and not willing to work at the NFL level...or
falls in with the wrong crowd. It's very hard to
quantify that...so we have some exposure there
in attempting to put a number to it.
The number
patterns that we were looking for begins with
establishing a base-line. We already know that
Darrelle Revis, Nnamdi Asomungha, Champ
Bailey, etc are "really
good/great/elite" at the NFL level...so we established a couple
of control groups of (simplified)
bad-mediocre-good-great NFL CBs (based on pro
bowls, NFL statistical output, any data relating
to classifying a CB, etc.) and tried to find
patterns in the college dat of good-great-elite CBs. We looked
for patterns that when compared with several
college CBs over recent history...the patterns
of data from their college years would separate,
or predict, whether a certain CB would be elite/great/good in the
NFL...or a more probable bust, and/or injury risk.
There are so
many factors to consider, and there is no
foolproof formula (or if there is, we don't
possess it). We begin to get excited when we can
develop a model that is predictive 70%+ of the
time...which leaves 30% or less of the time
wrong. We cannot control a bad
measurement/timing at the NFL Combine by a
machine, among any number of human errors that
can take place...we try to take human error out,
and just rely upon established data. Sometimes
bad data just happens.
When it came to
CBs, we looked at several ways to physically
profile a prospect, and to analyze various
performance data from their college career and
strength of opponents played against.
Ultimately, we developed several patterns that
proved out to work well together...and when
calculated against the last 5+ years of CBs
prospects, it sifted and sorted the CBs
accordingly. We will not release the details of
the exact calculations, because if it continues
to be predictive...we want to hold the cards on
the "patent"...if you will. If we're ultimately
wrong, then we can be thrown on the scrap heap
of failed number geeks across the land. We will
report it, you can decide on it going forward.
**If you want

ranking/scores, skip to the end of this article
and come back to read some more!**
*Similar to
our other formulas for offense, we reserve the
right to improve/make changes as time goes on.
If a new pattern emerges, we want to be on it
for the next NFL Draft. The game in general, and
the size/speed of players is changing
rapidly...what worked in 1994 (example), is
likely a joke now. We constantly mine the data
each year looking for new improved connections.
With all that, here are our results of 2011 and
prior...before we begin work on the 2012 class.
Our formula results, and their
similarities to NFL team War Rooms
On the
offensive side of the ball, our computer models
have a solid track record of finding the "value"
in the NFL Draft. Often times our #1 rated QB,
RB, WR is not in lock step with the NFL
evaluators. However, in our CB studies...we seem
to have more in common with what the NFL is
selecting at the top of the NFL Draft. Our
system, judged back in history now, does a
decent a job of calling 1st-Round/high-pick
busts...and has a mixed bag of finding
late-round future stars.
Here is a
year-by-year look at what our system would have
predicted since 2003, compared to what actually
occurred:
2011
Our top rated
CB was Patrick Peterson...with one of the
highest scores in our history. Few would have
debated that top of class grading. We have solid
ratings on the Giants Prince Amukamara, but we would
have preferred the Patriots #33 selection, the
4th CB taken overall, Ras-I Dowling.
Our sleeper of
this 2011 group, is Cleveland Browns 5th-Round
draft pick Buster Skrine out of
UT-Chattanooga, which is one we are very
interested in seeing if it develops...or if we
have a non-Division I "head-fake" here.
A more highly
touted CB that we think will not become
an elite, is the Ravens 1st-Round pick Jimmy
Smith...our system sees him more as a
possibly a better/top Safety than CB. Time will
tell.
2010
Our top rated
CB in 2010 was Devin McCourty, which made
much more sense than the CB selected 7 spots
ahead of him...Houston's Kareem Jackson.
Jackson graded as more likely mediocre at best
CB, and we would also call Jackson a likely
high-pick bust candidate...and that looks on the
money so far.
We would have
predicted Joe Haden as a bust for the
Browns as the top CB taken overall, and also
that Haden would have been a better Safety
prospect...and that looks like a horrible
outcome from our computer scouting.
Our "sleeper"
of the 2010 class is Bengals 3rd-Round draft
pick Brandon Ghee...and Ghee has done
little to date.
2009
Vontae Davis
was our top rated CB for 2009, and one of the
highest we've rated...and that remains to be
seen whether he will live up to those lofty
grades. Davis is good, but debatable at this
point on greatness. Davis was the 2nd overall CB
taken in the 2009 NFL Draft.
Our system
projects Malcolm Jenkins, the top CB
taken in 2009, as a likely mediocre at best
CB...and we would have advised against that
selection that early in the NFL Draft of 2009.
Our system's
2009 top "sleeper" CB would have been the 88th
overall draft pick, the Ravens Lardarius Webb.
2008
Dominique
Rodgers-Cromartie was our #1 overall ranked
CB, and he would wind up five picks behind the
top selected CB Leodis McKelvin. McKelvin
graded solidly for us overall, but DRC was the
much better prospect to us based on our
formula...a high-probable elite CB. McKelvin
graded solid, but off-the-charts as a special
team/return man...and has been a very good
return man in the NFL. In retrospect, our system
would be right to guide DRC over McKelvin.
Our system
would have called Brandon Flowers
mediocre at best, but he had a very good 2011
NFL season with KC. That Flowers call isn't
looking as hot right now, nor would our
"sleeper" Terrence Wheatley, who has been
all but a bust to-date...but was our #2 ranked
CB in the class.
To add further
to the 2008 bad calls, our computer scouting did
not like Aqib Talib as a 1st-Round CB
either...Talib was more on the bust side of the
ratings for us.
2007
Darrelle
Revis was our top rated CB of 2007, as he
was the top CB taken in the NFL. We also had
Leon Hall an eye-lash away from Revis's very
lofty ratings, and Hall was selected 4 picks
after Revis in 2007...and Hall had a sensational
2011 before he was lost for the season with
injury.
Our system
analysis would not have been as high on Eric
Wright as Cleveland was taking 53rd overall,
we would see him more as a 4th-Round
selection...not a major beef, but the only big
variation worth note in 2007.
We would have
agreed with Chicago's gamble on 5th-Round
selection of CB Corey Graham, who has
turned out to be a solid DB/Special teamer in
the NFL.
2006
We would have
been shaky on Jonathan Joseph and
Antonio Cromartie as 1st-Round draft pick
CBs, we would have projected them as solid at
best, and not likely future elite...but NFL
solid. Cromartie has been erratic, and Joseph
more stable...and better than our ratings.
Our top rated
CB of the class for us was undrafted Cortland
Finnegan out of Samford. We did not have
high probable elite ratings on Finnegan, but did
show him as a very good prospect with some signs
of upside of greatness...and definitely worth
drafting in the 7th-Round, like the Titans were
able too.
Our system
would have screamed that the top CB taken,
Tye Hill, by STL was a huge mistake...and
that would have been on the money.
2005
The good news
-- we would have advised an NFL team to stay
away from Pac-Man Jones until the 4-5th
Round at best, and Tennessee would have loved to
have not selected him #6 overall in 2005, in
hindsight.
The bad news --
we would have made the case for Fabian
Washington as the top CB in this class, with
a projection of likely great...possibly elite.
Washington was OK at best in the NFL, then
suffered a terrible injury and bounced around
the league with erratic results after that.
Washington was a 1st-Round pick of the Raiders
in 2005.
Our sleeper
pick in this class would have been Ravens
3rd-Round pick Dominique Foxworth, who
was our #2 rated CB of this class.
2004
Our #1 CB
prospect in this class was DeAngelo Hall,
and there would have been little argument with
that in 2004. Hall was the #1 CB taken in the
2004 NFL draft. Hall was also the 2nd highest
rated CB in the history of our system analysis.
Hall has definitely been a very good pro, he has
been debatably great at times...as well as
erratic. Hall for sure was not an NFL bust.
We also
would've argued that Dunta Robinson, Ahmad
Carroll, and Chris Gamble were not
1st-Round draft pick level CBs...but all 3 were
selected in the 1st-Round. We would have seen
them all as more 2nd-3rd round material.
Our sleeper in
this class would have been Michael Waddell,
and we would have been put to sleep for making
that projection as Waddell barely made a sound
in the NFL as a 4th-Round draft pick for the
Titans.
2003
Nnamdi
Asomungha was our top rated CB in 2003, and
he was a late 1st round draft pick. We had
Nnamdi rated as good, possibly great, but a long
shot to be elite... which looks debatable now.
We did not see
what Bill Belichick saw in 4th-Round pick
Asante Samuel, and we would have been
wrong. Samuel had a very low rating in our
system.
1989
We could not
help ourselves; we had to run Deion Sanders
through our system. Once you start getting past
2006, the information that we want on NFL Draft
prospects becomes harder to obtain. If we have
enough data, we can try to patch-in
estimated/neutral data for some of the missing
objects...such is the case with Deion Sanders.
We have about 60+% of what we need to analyze
Sanders, so we don't take our ratings of him too
seriously...however, after we estimated the
missing data, Sanders did wind up as our highest
all-time rated CB in our system scoring. Sanders
rated just ahead of DeAngelo Hall...again,
just for fun on Sanders.
Highest
graded CBs, and the grading scale...
All of the data
that we have analyzed for CB prospects was put
into various formulas and ratings, and then
designed toward grading the CB prospect on a
simplified 1-10 overall scale....however, a
prospect could grade over a 10.0+, and lower
than zero. The more a CB prospect approaches an
8-9+ overall score, the more they have in common
with the current-day top NFL CBs. From a NFL
Draft war room perspective, we would use our
overall list to find the CBs that scored over
6.5+...as the "line in the sand" of when to take
a CB prospect more seriously or not. Very few
future NFL top CBs scored below a 6.5-7.0 in our
rating system.
Our top 10
rated CBs of the past decade (or more):
-
9.68 = Deion
Sanders (1989)
-
9.65 =
DeAngelo Hall (2004)
-
9.51 = Patrick
Peterson (2011)
-
9.42 =
Darrelle Revis (2007)
-
9.40 = Leon
Hall (2007)
-
9.31 = Vontae
Davis (2009)
-
8.92 = Devin
McCourty (2010)
-
8.88 =
Terrence Wheatley (2008)
-
8.81 = Fabian
Washington (2005)
-
8.21 = Buster
Skrine (2011)
-
8.20 =
Champ Bailey (1999)
Our Top-10/11
list has landed on two busts -- Terrence
Wheatley (a CB the Pats invested a 2nd-Round
pick in) and Fabian Washington (an
Oakland 1st-Round pick). Washington had some
injury issues, but a bust none the less.
Vontae Davis is good, but questionable to be
rated with the all-time greats of the past
decade (at this point). Devin McCourty
appears promising to be a top NFL CB, but time
will tell if he sustains it. Buster Skrine
will be an interesting test of whether we found
a diamond in the rough in Cleveland's 137th pick
out of Tennessee-Chattanooga, or not.
DeAngelo
Hall is the highest current era CB we have
rated, and that may seem sketchy today...but
keep in mind Hall was a Pro-Bowl CB in two of
his first 3 seasons in the NFL, then flaked out
for a few years, before returning to Pro-Bowl
status in 2010.
The full
CB list we have studied...
*There may
be some semi-notable NFL CBs missing from our
list, most likely due to lack of information we
needed. However, most all drafted CBs of the
past 6-7+ years are on the list. After 5-6 years
back, the information we need is harder to come
by.
Along with the
overall score, we also show 4 individual
ratings/characteristics on each CB prospect, to
help show some of the skills that our computer's
analysis sees/models in these players. Those 4
items are:
RAW SPEED
-- Taking a look at the CB prospects
measureables from a perspective of straight line
speed, burst, etc. A scale of 1-10, but a
prospect could score over a 10+.
AGILITY
-- Expanding out into the measureables for
lateral movements, quick cuts, body-type, speed,
etc. Also considered are some of the performance
metrics in college. A scale of 1-10, but a
prospect could score over a 10+
POWER
-- A look at physical size, tackling
productivity in college, other physical
measureables. One of the side
benefits/intentions here, is to see which CBs
may be more of a model for a conversion to
playing safety successfully in the NFL. Also
denotes CBs who are more physical/will have
higher tackle totals...over pure speed/coverage
CBs. Again, 10.0+ can (and is) achieved.
RETURNS
-- A look at the prospects who have the college
production and physical characteristics to be a
difference-maker as return specialists. On a
scale of 100% = highly likely for kick/punt
return potential, but several prospects score
much higher (some double+) of that grade. Scores
going past 100%, show the higher potential for
NFL superstar return-abilities.
OVERALL
RATING -- Built on a 1-10 scale
valuation. It is possible that a prospect can
score over 10.0+, but hasn't happened yet. We
merge the data from physical measureables, skill
times/counts from the NFL Combine/Pro-Days, with
college performance data available on pass
coverage/tackles, etc. and grade it compared to
the the college CBs that went on to be NFL
good-great-elite. We found characteristics/data
points that the successful NFL CBs had in common
in college, that most other CB prospects could
not match/achieve.
Scoring with a
rating over a 6.5+, is where we start to take a
CB prospect more seriously. Most of the future
successful CBs scored 7+, and most of the more
NFL superior CBs pushed scores more in the 8+
levels...and future NFL busts sneak in there
from time-to-time.
You will see
some obvious NFL Safeties on the list, if they
were college CBs; then we included some in our
studies...just to see how they rated, and why
they may have moved to Safety.
