(+)The former first round pick, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Finally emerged as a legitimate receiver rather than athlete in his 3rd season
(+)He finally put his speed to use averaging 15.2 yards per catch
(+) For the first time in his career he caught over 50% of his targets and had 11 games with at least 4 catches
(+) DHB developed a good rapport with quarterback Carson Palmer especially over the last 3 games of the year in which he posted 21 catches for 355 yards and 2 TD
(-)Has yet to show a consistent game on a week to week basis
(-) In his first season DHB failed to adequately pick up the playbook and will again be learning a new system
(-)DHB has competition behind him in Moore and Ford and needs to continue his progression or could lose targets
(-) DHB needs to be more effective in the redzone as he only posted 4 TD’s last season

Heyward-Bey is the latest chapter in the novel "Al Davis and the Chamber of Secrets" by Al Davis. Why he drafted Heyward-Bey (who by many was considered a 2nd-round pick at best, never mind a top-10 pick) when Crabtree and Jeremy Maclin were on the board is a mystery that might never be solved. This is a guy that drafted a place kicker in the 1st-round for crying out loud. That's the equivalent of Chef Emeril Lagasse starting his show off by nuking a Lean Cuisine.
By the way, over the course of his three-year college career, Heyward-Bey put up 4 more catches, 127 more yards, and 9 less touchdowns than Crabtree had... IN HIS FRESHMAN YEAR ALONE!!!
Heyward-Bey signed himself a five-year, $38.25 million contract right as camp started up in July of '09. The deal included $23.5 million in guaranteed money, while another $15.75 million is available through incentives. The terms of the contract are below:
2010 - $395,000
2011 - $1 million
2012 - $1.605 million
2013 - $2.21 million
2014 - $2.72 million
2015 - Free Agent
Darrius dealt with a strained hamstring that kept him out of the OTA's early in the summer, but he arrived at training camp fully recovered. His bigger problem is that he still has those butterfingers to deal with...
