[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 896081, member: 12283"] A few thoughts. 1-- I think athletic metrics are most useful for ruling guys out. If you can look at historical data, identify minimums below which guys statistically don't succeed in the league, and then avoid those guys, you're winnowing a huge pool of prospects into a smaller one, from which you have a better chance to draw successful players. 2-- When picking late in the draft, I'm all for big swings on guys with high end athletic scores. Beyond the 3rd round, the odds that any player is going to become a good starter, or even a useful role player, is very low. So given that it's a low % proposition regardless, I think it makes sense to take the small edge that comes with high end talent. 3-- Your example of MVS is actually self-defeating. Finding that production at pick #174 is a really good pick. No WR drafted after him has come close to what he's done in the NFL to this point, and you really have to back allll the way up to pick #81 (Michael Gallup) in the 3rd round to find a guy who's been better. 24 receivers were drafted after Gallup, and MVS is the best one. So it would actually be an argument in favor of RAS and other athletic measures, not against it. [/QUOTE]
