Zorn and Skins to pursue D. J. Hackett

[Dirtbag59]

Anthony Mix FTW, Lol.

I calculated that last year gad Hacket been healthy he would have gained 1,200 yards. Of course that was based on 4 or 5 games as I didn't the first game of the season where he either got injured or didn't start.

I'm seriously worried about his durability, but I'm hoping that having most of the year off helped him get healthy enough to play through an entie season. Also one of my more respected stat guys had this to say aobut our boy

"Underrated

D.J. Hackett, WR: Hackett actually is still unsigned, so technically, he doesn't count as an underrated signing. But frankly, I am amazed some team hasn't snagged him. According to my estimations, Hackett is the second-best free-agent wide receiver on the market this offseason. I actually had him ranked in front of Berrian after doing a study of their YPA productivity over the past three years.

If you don't believe Hackett is better than Berrian, take a look at their total YPAs during this time:"
Then he displays a table thats hard to copy

"Hackett played only six regular-season games in 2007, while Berrian started 15 games and played all 16. Despite this big difference in games played, Berrian still totaled only 552 more yards over the past three years.

Hackett didn't top Berrian in only overall YPA. Check out their individual route depth totals"

More tables

Hackett topped Berrian in YPA at every depth level and was nearly as productive overall -- even with the 10 games missed this past year. Playing in Seattle's pass-happy system certainly helped Hackett, but a 9.9 overall YPA is quite impressive, no matter the circumstances. Hackett has the highest upside of any free agent left on the market, regardless of position.
