Looking at the CBs the Cowboys drafted in the past several years, I found (at least what I consider) to be a fascinating trend.
From 2017 to 2019, the Cowboys drafted 6 CBs:
But I do find it odd how prior to 2020
So it will be interesting if going less experienced (half games played) but a higher rate of turnover production (almost exactly 2x) will pay off for Dallas or not.
From 2017 to 2019, the Cowboys drafted 6 CBs:
Byron Jones, Chidobe Awuzie, Jordan Lewis, Michael Jackson, Anthony Brown and Marquez White
Combined, these 6 CB....
The past two years, the Cowboys have drafted 5 CBs:Combined, these 6 CB....
Played in 235 games:
Average = 39.17 games a piece
High = 48 (Awuzie)
Low = 31 (White)
Produced 29 college interceptions:High = 48 (Awuzie)
Low = 31 (White)
Average = 4.83 a piece
High = 8 (Jones in 43 games)
Low = 3 (Awuzie in 48 games)
Now looking at games played vs interceptions produced:High = 8 (Jones in 43 games)
Low = 3 (Awuzie in 48 games)
Combined, it came out to about 0.123 Int per game, or an Int in every 8.103 games
Best = 0.186 ints per game / Int every 5.375 games (Jones)
Worst = 0.063 ints per game / Int every 16 games (Awuzie)
Best = 0.186 ints per game / Int every 5.375 games (Jones)
Worst = 0.063 ints per game / Int every 16 games (Awuzie)
Trevon Diggs, Reggie Robinson, Kelvin Joseph, Nahsohn Wright and Israel Mukuamu
Combined, these 5 CBs....
Now what does this all mean? Heck if I know.Combined, these 5 CBs....
Played in 95 games:
Average = 19 games a piece
High = 30 (Diggs)
Low = 12 (Robinson)
Produced 23 college interceptions:High = 30 (Diggs)
Low = 12 (Robinson)
Average = 4.6 a piece
High = 7 (Mukuamu in 22 games)
Low = 3 (Robinson in 12 games)
Now looking at games played vs interceptions produced:High = 7 (Mukuamu in 22 games)
Low = 3 (Robinson in 12 games)
Combined, it came out to be about 0.242 Ints per game, or an Int in every 4.103 games
Best = 0.318 ints per game / Int in every 3.143 games (Mukuamu)
Worst = 0.133 ints per game / Int in every 7.5 games (Diggs)
Best = 0.318 ints per game / Int in every 3.143 games (Mukuamu)
Worst = 0.133 ints per game / Int in every 7.5 games (Diggs)
But I do find it odd how prior to 2020
- The Cowboys did not draft a single CB with less than 31 games played.
- The guys the Cowboys did draft did not rack up interceptions at a great pace.
On the other hand, 2020 and 2021- The guys the Cowboys did draft did not rack up interceptions at a great pace.
- Byron Jones, the best prior to 2020, would rank 2nd to last as far as Ints are concerned
- The Cowboys drafted only 2 players with 20+ games of experience
- Diggs @ 30 and Mukuamu @ 22
- Playing at just less than half the games, and 1 fewer player, they only produced 6 less Ints- Diggs with the worst Int/G rate, would have been 3rd best if placed with the 2017-2019 group
So it will be interesting if going less experienced (half games played) but a higher rate of turnover production (almost exactly 2x) will pay off for Dallas or not.
