Old Guy Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Did Jayden Reed look like a 4.45 guy when he took it to the house on that run? Dude was moving. Whatever that number is, it's plenty fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like in the draft discussion the Packers came out and said they had him timed at 4.3something. I was just saying, he looked like he was faster than a 4.45 guy on that run. Not saying it isn't 'fast enough,' but he's got a gear few do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree. It's just funny that people would say the Packers rely too much on RAS and use a player with a low RAS score that the Packers drafted as proof of this lol. Then some of these same people are saying this receiving corps could be the best since 2011, it's comical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't learned yet, the 40 time is probably, by far, the most overrated football statistic to ever exist. People need to stop caring so much about it. It typically has nothing to do with whether a guy is going to be a good football player, especially if the numbers are within a reasonable range for the position in question.

Packerraymond Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Zay is the only receiver I'm taking over Reed at this point. You just cannot doubt our scouting staff when it comes to receivers, also why they don't need to draft them in Rd 1, and when they inevitably do one day, I'm going to be really excited about the guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they don't use "RAS" itself, but they do use an athletic profile compilation that closely resembles RAS, which is why every February-April it is fairly easy to hit on a lot of future Packers in mocks by simply looking at the RAS score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be more stupid to believe that they don't use an analytics based athletic testing system as a top qualifier for who they draft. We as fans have RAS and the correlation is strong, why wouldn't we use it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays really fast with a ton of quickness in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will offer up Wicks as another good one from this class. Different from those two, though, in that he has great size and quickness. To me, he's just a great compliment to some of these quickness/speed guys out there. I don't know where I'd rank him, or how I would rank him, but I'm as excited for Wicks' future as I am for Reeds' future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We as fans have RAS and the correlation is strong, why wouldn't we use it? Some people are super stubborn to adopt trends if they happen to like an outlier. When every year 6 of our 8 draft picks all have a high RAS, there is probably something there. Just like the WR thresholds that I constantly had fights over for the last 3 or 4 drafts. We have literally taken Jennings, Cobb and Reed outside of the numbers in the past 20ish years, but there is no pattern. Didn't like half of the forum have a big circle around Zach Tom, LVN, Watson, Doubs, Gary, and Wicks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the pick John Eric Sullivan said the packers had him at 4.37 . He has certianly looked that fast at times. https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2023/05/04/packers-clocked-rookie-wr-jayden-reed-at-4-37-in-the-40-yard-dash/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
