[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 903938, member: 12283"] Using metrics like athletic testing can be helpful or harmful depending on how they're used. Becoming too enamored with workouts at the expense of whether a guy can actually play football will lead to some poor draft picks. But ignoring athletic testing and drafting really poor athletes will cause just as many problems. So testing metrics are best applied by ruling out (or least highlighting) the outliers-- the guys who profile physically/athletically in a way that rarely succeeds in the NFL. If you rule out outliers, the pool of prospects left to you will just carry a higher probability of hitting. That's not to say that an outlier [I]can't [/I]hit, but that your odds of success in taking one are poor. So who are the outliers in this class who teams need to be careful of? Who profiles in a such a way that almost never succeeds at the NFL level? [/QUOTE]
