For those of you who don't know Ethan Young.  He's an young Albert Einstein of scouting circles.  He takes analytics and probabilities to another level.  He combines SLAYIC%, tFREAK%, and SPARQ% scores to essentially determine probability of a players success in the NFL and he's had a tremendous amount of success with this model.

He posted his success rate for "Lower Bounder Players".. the players on this list have a 7.5% "hit rate" in the NFL. 

There are several notable players on this list including, Jonathan Allen, Derek Barnett, Sidney Jones, Tre'Davious White, Teez Tabor, Cordrea Tankersley, Dawuane Smoot, Demarcus Walker, Tim Williams and Ryan Anderson.

He also lists his "Upper Bound SLAYIC Threshold Players" on his twitter.  If you're interested in his analytics, he's very forthright in his tweets and you can learn much. @NFLDrafter

I know a lot of mocks have us taking Derek Barnett.. but I think I'd rather the Saints take a chance on him at 11.

I have felt this way for awhile.  I think he is being completely overrated by some based on the numbers.  But when I went and watched him on draftbreakdown.com, I came away praying he is not our pick. 

Nothing about him stands out to me, and he just doesn't have the speed and burst to make up for his lack of athleticism in the NFL. IMO, he got away with a lot in college that he won't in the NFL.  He also doesn't have the size or strength to hold up full time at DE, yet he is not fast or explosive enough to stand up at LB.  To me, he is a classic tweener in the mold of Everette Brown.  In other words, perfect for the Saints.

A 7tech DE prospect on his "Upper Bound" is Derek Rivers out of Youngstown State...he's rated as his #24 overall prospect in the draft..  And he will probably be available with our 2nd round pick.  For comparison, he's got Soloman Thomas at #17.. not that big of a drop off in his eyes.  Could be a steal for us.

Too bad all these metrics haven't been around for years so that we could actually hold them to the fire. 

On second thought, maybe they have been around long enough, but someone less lazy than me will have to do the research.

I'm just skeptical of these prognostication metrics that rate players before they've ever played a down as a pro. I have serious issues with them. I'd much rather look at grades after the fact.

I remember a lot of talk about KK Short being a bust! Caused him to drop to the 2nd Rd. 

After the draft, DG and Ron both said after reviewing his film that the perception of him taking plays off was really that he was playing 93% of the snaps and was gassed. 

Moral?-Statistics have a place, however, they shouldn't override common sense

He has a whole chart where he has prospects since the early 2000s as part of his metrics

This guy's data goes back to 1999.

The same criticism has been aimed at Garrett, who also played too many downs without rest. And while common sense is absolutely necessary, I'll also point out that your 93% figure is also a stat.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
