The 2023 NFL draft has officially come and gone, and now it’s time for the post-draft over-analyzation period to begin.
For the New York Giants, they came away with an impressive seven-player draft class with no reaches and a lot of value. They entered the three-day event with a clear plan of attack and executed it to near perfection.
General manager Joe Schoen called many of the names of players he and the team were familiar with and had met with. Most also had impressive RAS scores.
What is RAS?
RAS — also known as Relative Athletic Score — is a measurement of a player’s athletic testing in relation to both size and historic results. Each individual measurement is graded on a scale of 0-10 (10 being the highest).
Here’s a quick look at the RAS scores for all seven Giants draft picks:
