In 2015 They had Kirk[atrick rated as the 115th CB worse than a bunch of scrubs that barely played when in fact he was atop 30 CB better than half the starting CBs in the league.
I don't know if I'd use that example to prove PFF's rankings are a "complete joke". Wasn't DreKirk among the top 3 most penalized CB's that year? He wasn't all that in coverage, either. He improved a LOT last year. If DreKirk graded that poorly for 2016, I'd agree with you. 2015 - while a bit harsh - isn't all that far off IMO.

I just had a thought. What if the Robinson and Minter visits are meant to give the appearance that LB is a dire need, making other teams think we'll draft Reuben Foster when we actually have someone else in mind?
