At his pro day in 2004, Turner ran an official 4.50. Now, I always choose the best average time. That means that for every time you have there is a high, low, and average. For Turner, his high was 4.62 and his low was 4.42. His average of all 6 was 4.49. For the pro day, we only have the one electronic time of 4.50. So the way I see it, you can take the 85 SPD rating with the best verifiable average of 4.49, or you can take the 4.50 and make him an 84 speed.

Gotcha. and I like it. But what about this: Turner looks much thinner this year according to most experts and this should cause him to be just slightly quicker. What do you do in these situations?

The first thing I do is look at how many years he has been in competition. This is because players can lose as much as .03 on a 40 time per season on the average as some data would suggest. This is his 7th season already, so there should be some signs of decline, but this is not universal to every player. I also look at his weight when he ran that 40 and his weight now. Weight will most likely affect the ACC more than the SPD rating however. When he ran that 40, he weighed 237lbs. As of right now he is still listed at 244 on Ourlads so I doubt that there would be little change.

LT and Portis ranked higher than Jackson? Is that supposed to be a joke?


LOL then I didn't see Josh Brown in the top 10 kickers and was about to freak, didn't expect to see him at 1 haha

[DCEBB2001]

LT is rated the same as Jackson, not above him. According to PFF, Jackson was only the 36th best back last season despite his stats in a poor offense. His primary downfall: blocking ability. LT had far more TDs as well.

Josh Brown is tied for 1st amongst the kickers. He was #1 in 2008 and #5 in 2007 followed by #10 in 2009.

All of the Raw attributes (STR, SPD, AGI, ACC, JMP) have been complete for all teams from AZ-NYJ.

[DCEBB2001]

I want you guys to check out some of the individual attributes from the Raiders....I always knew that Al Davis drafted for speed but this is unreal...check out the skill positions, LBs, and FBs...wow...

your doing ratings based off of one season according to a website that doesnt use rate stats? (as in 1 drop for every 100 targets as opposed to 10 drops overall)

No, I am doing ratings based off of everything that I can find including scouting reports, combine data, stats, and inside stats....it is as comprehensive without conjecture and opinion as I can get it...
