Ranking a teams draft haul by RAS scores is really silly. The Raiders drafted OT Charles Grant who was considered one of the most athletics OT's in the draft yet he only has a 5.79 RAS score But then Charles Grant did not participate in a lot of the athletic training. As a matter of fact, a lot of the prospects on the list did not participate in drills that they thought they would not do well in. Prospects that only participated in drills that they would only do well in could inflate their RAS scores. Wouldn't the RAS scores also be more skewed to benefit teams that have the fewest amount of late round picks. The Ravens had 5 6th round draft picks, so I would expect the Ravens to not do well per RAS scores.
RAS is somewhat helpful... but it really depends on certain metrics more than others. If anything, Karami taught us that last year (and I am guilty of doubting Mr. Lassiter based on his 40 time)
It’s not rating how well we picked per ras; it’s more so seeing Nick actually get athletes this time vs what he’s done in the past which is trust the tape and not the 40 time
Don't get too down on that concern. I look at it like a drag racer who consistently times the light and avoids spinning the tires over the faster car. They are basically saying that when they talk about playing faster than they time.
