First round picks sometimes are in the 5-6 RAS range, fifth rounders can have a 9.5 RAS.

Well I am sorry it doesn't meet your exacting standards for a do it all stat. Its simply a compilation of their athletic scores from combine and pro day testing. There is nothing added in, or some proprietary stuff like PFF that you can't look at. It is simply an average of their testing, that is all. No it says nothing about their ability to play football. You look at their tape and stats from games to find that out.

As for your quick dismissal b/c some first rounders have 5-6 RAS (who exactly?). Considering you just looked into it just now, you might want to dig a little further. There might be exceptions to the rule, but most pro-bowl players test out very high on the RAS. And sure there are guys that are high and don't have success, but there are a lot more guys who have success and test out high than there are guys who test low and do have success. At the end of the day it is a tool in the evaluation, not the end all, but then again I never presented it as such.

For those who mentioned I was high on Omenihu, you may have noticed I stopped talking about him after the combine. He was a Day 3 pick at a 4.9 40. Before the combine, several media outlets had him going round 1, not so much after.

No thanks to the suggestion to dig further into it. It's a nerd stat that says what I would already know if I just looked at their combine numbers, but it's nice that it makes you feel well-educated on a given draft pick. As for who...just look at that guy's feed on the tweet you linked. He posted random RAS "reports" over the past few hours.

Hang on........, no I wasn't worried about it. It's not like people think you know what you are talking about.

That's 9 picks so far, and 8 of them on defense.

Practice squad guy with potential. Nothing wrong with that.

Ok, whatever dude. You sound like an asshole.

Apparently the Colts just made a trade to get another pick in the 7th

The Colts traded DT Hassan Ridgeway to the @Eagles in exchange for the 246th overall pick.

Makes sense. He probably wasn’t going to make the final roster.
