RAS?

[Mike M (the other one)]

I agree production is an important part of it, but i think the RAS indicates how HIGH a player can possibly go.

You mentioned Paul Dawson, there's always exceptions, that's what the interview and production will help show.

I read an article, can't seem to find it (it had 20 years worth of teams draft picks), but teams drafting Elite RAS guys in the first three rounds have produced more Starters (avg, above avg and Pro-Bowlers) than those that took players that had a Not Elite RAS that resulted mainly in a couple avg to below avg players.

Seems that Detroit and Jaguars have been hitting the high RAS players in the last few years and both teams are on the rise.

While i know it's not the most important part, it seems that it definitely is a factor to consider.
