Stats do help with shaping the overall performance of a player and take away a bit of the narrow perspection fans have on their own players at times.  What you have presented is a solid argument that Dre is not a terrible corner, had areas where he was a decent player and areas where he needs to improve but to try to rank him at the bottom of corner play last year seems like a flawed position.

Yup, he's average to slightly above average.....not worthy of his draft status.  So Fred says he's 20th out of 64?  Wow, roll out the red carpet to Canton, and break out the yellow jackets!!!!

What I find even funnier is that PFF is killer when propping up the Piano Man, but terrible when evaluating Toast Kirkpatrick......so ya gotta take it for what it's worth.

EDIT: Top ten in tackles because he got schooled and allowed a completion, or is chasing a play down from behind.
