    OK... I admit it.

    What is RAS?

    I don't speak initials and abbreviations very well/

    Relative Athletic Score
     
    Relative Athletic Score (RAS) is a metric that combines the various categories measured at the NFL Combine -- height, weight, wingspan, drill exercises -- into one aggregate number that's then contextualized against other athletes of the same position.

    I can’t see Taylor Swift doing this. She doesn’t need the money and probably wouldn’t like someone else controlling the content of anything put out about her. 

    Absolutely on the control aspect...not to mention the time consuming aspect of it.  She seems like she's already spread pretty thin in the endeavors that she wants to do and a reality show is a serious time commitment.  Not happening.

    yea those picks were killer, but every roster is full of a rotation of lunch pale guys doing dirty work, there are 88 total pro bowlers each year. and 96+ first three round picks. 

     

    id have to consider a pro bowl selection to be too tight of a goal for all top 3 round picks. hell in a 5 year span there are 160 first round picks.

     

     

     

    Hmmmmm...I think there are some folks that answered the question optimistically like I did...all the choices *COULD* be considered a successful draft pick based on circumstances.  I think you would have gotten a much different result if the question was "What do you consider the MINIMUM criteria for a successful draft pick FOR ALL THREE TOP PICKS?" instead.  I for one did not assume minimum, nor did I assume all three simultaneously.  Just sayin'.

    The rule change only allows review of the game clock, not the play clock. So it can check whether a snap occurred before a quarter ended or not. But not whether a delay of game penalty should have been called or not.

    Ah, so they can still let them run plays after the clock expires.

    Thanks for the clarification, I clearly misunderstood and assumed play clock.  It frustrated me to no end how guys like Brady seemed to always get "the benefit of doubt" (i.e. a couple extra seconds) during critical parts of the game...guess nothing has changed for the NFL chosen few in that regard.

  20. Building the Bengals 2024 Edition: Roster at 61/90

    Your right.

    Question ..

    Would the Bengals trade their 4th for 

    3 6ths?

     

    So according to https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp?RequestTeam=cin it appears ON PAPER as though a middle of the 5th is more realistic for our three 6ths.  However, to Sparky's point, there are teams that are looking to add cheap quantity (cap hell?) over quality, and the trade value chart is just a rough guide and always has glaring exceptions every year.  To answer your question, no I wouldn't expect the Bengals to trade their 4th for three 6ths as I believe the Bengals are looking for quality over quantity with plenty of cap space.
