Edge rusher is very much a need for the Green Bay Packers this offseason. The good news is that this is a very deep class, with 11 edge rushers making Daniel Jeremiah’s top 50 big board, and many of these prospects had an impressive showing at the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday.
During Brian Gutekunst’s tenure as GM, there has oftentimes been a connection between the players that he selects and how well they score on the RAS (Relative Athletic Score) scale. I took a closer look at that connection here, but in short, 30 of Gutekunst’s 42 RAS-eligible draft picks scored 8.0 or higher (out of 10), with 18 of those 30 scoring 9.0 or more. Only eight players have registered below 7.0.
