Those measurables on Bolton is why I've always found analytics to be useless garbage.

Why do people put any credence into RAS scores?
Top 10 Chiefs in terms of RAS scores include the following players: Brian Johnston (DE) perfect 10 William Bartee (CB) perfect 10 Brad Cottom (TE) 9.5 Omar Easy (FB) 10.0 Fujita (LB) 9.96 Jeff Webb (WR) 9.9 Chris Conley (WR) 9.68 Mike Capatano (DE) 9.81

Watch Burks play. He's plenty fast.

I never said RAS was gospel.
I just think that if you have a low score I'd like to hear the reason why a player is going to be better than that score. For instance people said that Bolton had elite anticipation and understanding of where to be and when. As far as I can tell that prediction was 100% accurate. The guy who creates RAS is constantly tweeting outliers, guys with pretty low scores who succeed despite them. It's just kind of the exception, you don't disprove all RAS scores by showing one example of a guy who scored low and succeeded anyway. It doesn't pop the bubble. |

It's possible to let RAS, or a version of it, factor into a decision without being the driving force. I'm betting that is how most front offices use these types of analytics. I doubt any halfway decent GM would make a draft decision based solely on RAS. That score doesn't claim to account for skill, instincts, vision, or character. All pretty important variables. Nick Bolton is a good example. His main attributes coming out were his instincts, processing, and tackling ability. That pretty well shined through watching him play last year. No one would call Nick Bolton a freak athlete in today's NFL, but he's a damn fine linebacker. |

Good comparison!
Watch Burks! He isnt Drake London, he regularly takes it to the house. Pulling away from DBs on his way. RAS says he shouldnt be able to do that but he does! I would take him over Drake all day and yet Drake is ranked much higher. |

I'm not fond of either one of them.

Mike Williams was a recent top ten pick and just got a contract for 20 million a year.
You may not be a fan of the style of WR but London is a better prospect than Williams was. Quicker, more agile. Also strong on the ball. |
