I get that you are just posting info as you come across it about a lot of players (much appreciated). But RAS is just another analytical tool to blend in with all the other metrics and analytical tools, which as we all know, when blended all together can make things as clear as mud.

I'm looking upthread and I like this guy's game, apparently. I also liked Antonio Gandy-Golden coming out of Liberty back in 2020. I think I took him in the mid-to-late third of a rookie draft. He was so slow they tried to make him a tight end in his second or third year. Now Ayomanor isn't slow, but damn sometimes I have a penchant for picking not-so-great professionals that look faster than they are.
Best of luck to Ayomanor. I heard his quarterbacking was a real problem at Stanford. Always hate to see a guy fall in the draft and never get the chance just because his college quarterback was inadequate. I mean, your QB isn't so great so your production drops, you don't have the draft capital that determines (to a pretty substantial degree) your practice reps and playing time, never mind your contract status from the draft slotting; so you're behind in the race to get better and improve in the professional ranks and your money and job security is hampered, etc. All because your college QB that you had nothing to do with selecting, recruiting, or attracting to come to the university can't support a quality wideout.
The whole thing stinks, and the beat goes on.

I def like that stat in the second twitter post, but was interesting to have Ayomanor as the call out associated with it. He is 100% not going in the 1st round of the NFL draft. And it's few and far between sources at this point post-combine where you see him projected to go in the second round. So an interesting stat that feels like the odds are very against ever pertaining to Ayomanor.

Yeah thought he would go day 2. I think his issues with his hands must have really been concerning because his size, athleticism and grit were all pretty good.

Great landing spot; but I'm still low on him. And after seeing at least 5 "look what he did against Travis Hunter in this game!" articles/blurbs post-draft, I'm convinced much of his hype is derived from that one game he beat up on a sophmore CB who was not at all special, but happened to blossom into a phenom and Heisman winner the following year. I guarantee were he to have played against Hunter again in 2024, the results would have been very different.
He's an X WR who is bad against press, bad against zone, has poor short area quickness, long speed is there but needs a runway, and worse of all are the drops. Waldman and Harmon both touched on this, and you can see it on tape. He's another clapper. And going by what Waldman says, poor hands technique is one of the most difficult problems to change and overcome late in development. Better be sleeping next to a Jugs machine.
