Re: Nick Caserio gives glimpse of Pats draft process
That's pretty interesting stuff. I'd love to know what all those abbreviations stand for though.
How does he break down the score of ZS4.910.lw?
Size, weight, 40 times are listed below and age and date of birth.
But what does 4.59eAl1 mean exactly? Does that rate what tier of speed/quickness he's in?

Hint: the Z was probably part of Wes Welker's draft grade.

Re: Nick Caserio gives glimpse of Pats draft process
Interesting that he seems to say individual workouts are more important at some positions than others. That adds context to the reports of who is or isn't being worked out.

Re: Nick Caserio gives glimpse of Pats draft process
more important if the Patriots are looking to play the player at a different position than in college...e.g. Edelperson who was a QB...tried him out as a RB and WR

And as a returner.
Plus they had about half the coaching staff talk to him, AND they brought him in for a visit.

4.59 is the 40 time. e stands for estimated time. A/1 means Astroturf.

Reiss breaks it down further in that post. Here's one section from his post:
Quote:
DEFINING THE GRADE: Any letters that come before a number is what the team calls “typing”. An “I” type means the prospect is “clean” based on the standards the team has for height, weight and speed at the position in the team’s system. In this grade, the “Z” means the player is height deficient. The “S” means the player is speed deficient. If there was a “B”, it would mean the player is bulk deficient based on his weight. The player’s grade is the number 4.910. The grading scale is 1 to 9, with 1 “not very good” to 9 being “this guy is rare.” The lower-case letters – in this case “lw” -- are the team’s alert system. In this case, the “l” means a lower level of competition (e.g. a player from a Division II school). The “w” is a weight alert, indicating that the player has battled a weight problem (either too heavy or too light). The alerts don’t eliminate a player, but remind the team it’s something to investigate further.
Re: Nick Caserio gives glimpse of Pats draft process
The whole draft process has intrigued me for a long time, this is great info.. would still love to be a fly on the wall during the draft period.. or have some scribe be present and write an article on it.
