Saints Value RAS more than other teams
 

RAS - Relative Athletic Score
Here's the list of players for 2021

Our three draft pics so far:
Payton Turner, DE, Houston - RAS of 9.74
Pete Werner, ILB, Ohio State - RAS of 9.49
Paulson Adebo, CB, Stanford - RAS of 9.74

It doesn't explain the entire story, however. Many of the players with higher RAS the Saints could have picked are still available, or were picked shortly afterwards.

It's interesting nonetheless in understanding this slight wrinkle in their talent evaluations.

Also first name starting with P. They liked Surtain and Sewell too.
