I wonder what the WRAPS and playmakers score was for the WR we picked up in the 7th. Was?

How do you know that the Combine track was slower than all the Pro Day tracks at various universities all over the country?Sorry but as a stats guy I can’t help myself. The RAS was developed using players combine scores as a first determination and pro day when not available. So essentially all of this years prospects had artificially high RAS scores because you are comparing only pro day to the combine (which had a much slower track). Not to say that the Saints players aren’t good athletes...but I think that the limitations of RAS this year are undeniable.

Because it has been repeatedly demonstrated over the years. Even a casual observer of the draft knows that.How do you know that the Combine track was slower than all the Pro Day tracks at various universities all over the country?
Agree to a point. The saints definitely weren’t happy with the lack of data available to craft their rankingsSorry but as a stats guy I can’t help myself.

The combine track is actually known as a fast track. The difference in times at pro days are due to electronically timed vs hand timed and additional training for 40.Because it has been repeatedly demonstrated over the years. Even a casual observer of the draft knows that.
I think he said slow track meaning slower times at combine than at pro-days. It is true that most players have faster 40's at their pro-day. But you are correct. How it's timed makes all the difference.The combine track is actually known as a fast track.

Size shouldn’t be a factor in this thing - athleticism is athleticism
I prefer to take tackles and I would add CB, DE to that list as well.If you subscribe to the moneyball theory of drafting, you should always pick lineman in the first round that have a chance to start immediately. The replacement opportunity cost of a rookie lineman vs vet lineman at the expensive positions is like a net savings of something like 12+ million a year. If you hit every year for 5 years in a row, then you're saving yourself like 70 million in cap space by riding rookie contracts.
That’s literally why it’s called relative athletic score, both relative to the average of other players, and also relative to size...Size shouldn’t be a factor in this thing - athleticism is athleticism
Nois the wonderlic test/ other intangibles built into this as well. The composite averages seem way off based on the numbers given
