CorkScrewHill Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Nice interview. Basically Josh is an athletic freak .. who knew .. but given how much RAS was discussed in the draft thread I found this interesting. Josh Allen - freak; Tremaine Edwards - Freak; Greg R. - Freak; Spencer Brown - Freak. McBeane loves them some upside. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Seems like McBeane likes to take chances on guys with high ceilings in the draft and then use free agency to fill in the gaps. Diggs being an exception to this among others. It is a good approach to get "starters" via free agency and then try and go for the moon in the draft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 They trust their coaches, their culture, and their player development program. Previous Bills' regimes have squandered raw, athletic prospects because of a terrible development environment. Fans simplistically look at draft picks that didn't pan out and assume the problem was scouting - but sometimes it's a failure of player development, not selection. The Bills finally have a structure in place that helps athletes reach their full potential. It's refreshing. 9 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I found it funny that Bills UDFA safety Tariq Thompson registered a .33 RAS out of 10. He plays better than that would indicate but apparently RAS scores can get pretty low. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their UDFA approach was definitely different than their draft approach, wrt athleticism. More about production. With the exception of McCloud they were mostly guys who were seen as 5th-6th round picks toward the end of last football season but generally didn't really impress in workouts.

jletha Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Beane hasnt been overcommited either way to RAS score. Historically he will take guys all over, but this draft was different. Just for reference, some notables: Josh Allen: 9.67 Singletary: 1.72 Knox: 9.25 VoSean: 0.22 Zach Moss: 2.88 Zay Jones: 9.71 (not Beane I realize, just thought it was funny) Ed Oliver: 9.87 Ford: 6.33 Taron Johnson: 6.29 Epenesa: 4.07 This draft though, everyone was over 7 I believe except for our 7th rd WR. https://relativeathleticscores.com/2020/12/31/buffalo-bills-ras-history/ Edited May 5, 2021 by jletha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't his score literally mean he tested in the bottom third? Scores, by definition, must range from .01 to 1.0. It's a percentile thing, 100% comparative/relative to competition.

I don't buy the pro day numbers straight up.........but they are usually inflated. Either way, not a great look for Tariq. At the college level he had a little Rodney Harrison in him though. He's physical and instinctive. Rodney was a similarly poor athlete as I recall. I know he ran a 4.82 40. The game might be a bit too fast for that kinda' athlete now but I guess we will see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 By the way...EJ Manuel 9.7. Take any RAS-to-NFL-success correlation with a large grain of salt. As noted within, however, there is much to be said for the ability of an organization to cultivate and develop that athleticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
