I still contend that we are basing our opinions of Diggs on the LSU game(I say "we" because my opinion swayed that way regarding him as well, but after some reflection, I think I've changed my mind.)

LSU made everyone's DBs look silly this year.

I am almost positive that before the LSU game, everyone on here was very high on Diggs.

From the article:

quote:
He allowed only 22 catches on 52 targets with nearly half of those yards(did they mean catches right here?) coming in one game against LSU.

I don't have anymore in-depth, pff-type metrics on Diggs from this past season, but I want to say that we are being way too hard on Diggs. Maybe someone like SoG can shed some light on this.

According to PFF, he gave up 1 reception after the LSU game. He was on their 1st All American list.

I know he graded well in other games, but he was abused badly against LSU. I think he's insanely talented and still really raw as a DB. That doesn't show up very often but against a team like LSU with those receivers, that scheme and that QB, if you aren't technically perfect you are going to get beat. And he got beat a lot.

But, he's too talented and has played well enough too often to not get drafted high. I truly just think he's still really inexperienced compared to others. It's almost a testament to how talented he is that it only showed up against LSU.
