Average RAS score of Bucs draft picks by position

Yahoo24-02-2025
While it may not make sense to every NFL fan, the Scouting Combine provides some extra excitement while football is away from all of us. The on-field testing gives us a glimpse of what these players who are attempting to enter the league are capable of.
One of the best things that come out of the NFL Scouting Combine is the RAS scores, as they help paint a better picture of the type of athlete players are.
A RAS score is defined as a metric that compares a football player's athleticism to other players at the same position. What we did with these numbers is we looked over every pick that Jason Licht has made as general manager of the Bucs since 2016. We tallied all of the scores and found the average of those positions so you can follow who could fit into what the team looks for.
Kent Lee Platte posts each score as testing is completed on his socials. For now, here is some of his work averaged together to find what players the Bucs will target come April's draft.

Sauce Speaks Out On Jets QB Justin Fields as Matchup Nightmare

Sauce Speaks Out On Jets QB Justin Fields as Matchup Nightmare originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Jets this offseason gave Justin Fields a two-year, $40 million contract ... and they have given him the starting job. Advertisement There is no doubt about all of that. The real question surrounding New York's new signal-caller is whether he can prove himself able to develop into a quality "franchise quarterback'' - regardless of the price tag. Through the first four seasons, Fields was unable to establish that he was "that guy.'' Amid a number of athleticism-based highlights, struggled mightily for both the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers in terms of being a consistent performer, especially as a passer. His time in Pittsburgh - ah, those highlights! - stood out to the Jets, though. While he sat on the bench for most of the team's 2024 Week 7 win over New York, Fields was still someone the Jets had to key on whenever he went on the field. Advertisement "We didn't know if Justin was going to play or not and who was going to be the starter," Jets' All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner recalled Wednesday on "The Pat McAfee Show regarding his new quarterback. "We had to change the whole game plan for Justin, just for him to not even play that game, just for Russ (Russell Wilson) to be the starter. So then we went back to the other game plan like the night before or something like that." Gardner's comments show the kind of matchup nightmare Fields can be when he plays at a high level. ... but as a true dual threat. That's why the Jets wanted to bring Fields in the first place. They wanted a quarterback who could win from the pocket and make plays with his legs. Those kinds of signal-callers are very difficult to stop. Advertisement That is what New York is banking on. So long as Fields improves as a passer, the Jets are thrilled with what they have gotten from their new starting quarterback. ... and Gardner's speak-out endorsement is just the latest example of that.

Jets' Sauce Gardner Aims To Trick A 'Wizard' In Week 1 vs. Aaron Rodgers' Steelers

Jets' Sauce Gardner Aims To Trick A 'Wizard' In Week 1 vs. Aaron Rodgers' Steelers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. By the time the 2025 NFL season gets underway, in part highlighted by Aaron Rodgers leading the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 against his former New York Jets team, Sauce Gardner plans to be ... Advertisement Richer. Bigger. Trickier. Rodgers, of course, spent the last two seasons with the Jets before he was dumped this offseason, and now he and the Steelers will be visiting MetLife Stadium to play his former team in the season opener. The Jets have made major changes in many ways, but a featured guy remains cornerback Sauce Gardner, who recently told ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show that he's "looking forward to the challenge" of opposing Rodgers in large part due to the brain game of football. "He might think he knows all the tendencies that I have, but this offseason has really been me trying not to give nothing away," Gardner said. "I've been trying to work on literally everything because I already know I'm about to go against a wizard Week 1. Advertisement "I already know what time it is.' Gardner has long said positive things about Rodgers as a teammate ... but now must do any he can to take down the 41-year-old legend. Sauce is now bigger; he is listed at 190 pounds, but the Pro Bowl-level performer has added 10 pounds of muscle this offseason. 'I'm sitting about 200 pounds right now and I don't think I've ever really played that heavy,'' he said. "But it's like the more weight I've put on, the more muscle, the more explosive and the faster I become with that muscle that I've put on.' Gardner is also looking for a contract extension and has said that he believes that talks with the Jets are moving in the proper direction. ... maybe toward the $30 million APY level. Advertisement Gardner was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2022, as well as being named First Team All-Pro in both of his first two seasons. He also led the NFL in passes defended in his rookie year with 20 ... and he's ready to do even more in 2025 ... Starting in Week 1 when he'll try to "trick'' a "wizard.''

Justin Fields' Jets Weapons Receive Horrifying Ranking

Justin Fields' Jets Weapons Receive Horrifying Ranking originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Jets offense under Tanner Engstrand hasn't gotten much love this offseason, with Justin Fields and his weapons not the flavour of the month. Advertisement But we are all basing it on what we "think" will happen, and with only Garrett Wilson as the consistent outlet, it could be tough sledding for the Jets offensively. And it appears that Kyle Long of NFL on CBS thinks so, too. In ranking all pass-catching units from 32 teams with the help of Mike Renner, the Jets' weapons come in the F tier. Yuck. Horrifying. 'The Jets, it's funny, Garrett Wilson, great receiver,' Long said. 'Allen Lazard, some drop issues, but a guy that is a big target, somebody that I think Justin Fields can lean on. But they're going to run the football a lot. So, I hope that they run the rock. It's an O-lineman's dream to play in that offense. You're not going to give up a lot of sacks. Let's just hope that Justin Fields and this receiving core can figure something out and Allen Lazard is not going to drop the ball.' Advertisement Vincent Carchietta - Imagn Images Behind Wilson, it is Josh Reynolds and Lazard, both of whom haven't been high-stat getters over the past couple of seasons, and behind that duo are young, unproven players like Malachi Corley, Tyler Johnson, and Arian Smith. Yes, the Jets will be a run-first offense, with Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, and Isaiah Davis, but Fields has to be able to complement that with a solid passing game, and Long isn't sure he has the weapons to do it. Of course, this is all a projection, and the proof will be when real NFL bullets are flying in the regular season, but New York's biggest red flag this offseason has been its receiver room. Advertisement And until they prove otherwise, many will doubt their ability to put up enough points to win enough games in 2025.
