Right now, Star Rupture, Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days, and Heroes of Science and Fiction, all early access.

That's enough for now, I'm gonna play some video games and crash.

2026 saw the most players with an elite #RAS with 403, but in terms of percentage it's actually quite low, only 15.51%.

Even though I struggled to keep up, wasn't able to devote anywhere near as much time as I usually do, and have technical issues up the wazoo, 2026 ended up being the largest draft class in the #RAS database with 2598 players with a score. Third year in a row over 2,000.

Where will 2026 fall for this draft class?

The average for our top 300 in the @pfsn365.bsky.social Mock Draft Simulator is just a little over 8.06, which would rank 3rd. That's also about what their average overall is for the last decade. So let's predict that, 3rd best!

The average prospect is about 5.00 for #RAS, but the average NFL Draft pick is around 8.00 and higher on average.

2021, which averaged the highest for almost every individual position, actually only ranked 9th all time for the average of their draft class. Most likely due to all the unknowns we had that year post COVID. Skews a lot of data.

This is why more recent years, where we have access to more reliable data, tend to average much lower. Where we tend to see bigger differences in the other direction is the players being drafted.

2022-2025 comprise 4 of the top 5 draft classes for average #RAS.

These raw averages always end up kind of low due to volume. While only a small group attend the Combine and tend to blow it out of the water overall, the pro day circuit sees a LOT of players who simply don't have the requisite athleticism to play in the NFL.

FS sees 2026 at 2nd for average #RAS over the last decade with 4.65, with the usual suspect in the top spot. SS comes in almost exactly the same.

Corners ranked quite low for average #RAS with only 4.21, with 2018 actually ranking relatively high considering the rest of the positions, coming in 4th, while 2021 is once again #1.

2026 came in middle of the road for LBs average #RAS, ranking 5th of the last 10 years with 4.46. 2020 came in last, but none of the last ten years averaged over 10.00, not even 2021 post COVID.

DT is another position 2026 came in 3rd for with 4.62. 2021 once again came in 1st while 2017 came last.

Defense starts off a bit middle of the pack, with 2026 ranking 6th in the last 10 years with only 4.35. 2020 actually ranked last with a measly 3.31 average.

Center also fared poorly, coming in 8th with only 4.49. 2021 was 1st while 2017 had an abysmal 3.87 average.

Guard, on the other hand, came in 3rd with 4.77, with 2017 and 2018 coming in last, 2018 only averaging 3.66!

Offensive Tackle, surprisingly, ranked very poorly for the 2026 class, coming in 8th of the last 10 years with 4.51. Only 2018 and 2025 fared worse.

2026 also came in 3rd for average #RAS at WR with 5.43, once again 2021 ranked 1st and 2018 ranked last with only 3.88.

2026 ranked 3rd in the last decade for average TE #RAS with 4.77, behind 2017 and 2021. 2024 actually ranked last with only 3.99, I'm kind of surprised to see how bad some of these classes were athletically overall.

Since 2017, 2026 ranks 4th for average #RAS for RBs with 4.43.

2021 ranked 1st, while 2018 was last (with only 3.99!).

In the last decade, 2026 ranks 2nd for average #RAS for QBs with 5.54. As will likely be a trend for the rest of these, 2021 ranked higher while 2018 ranked last.

At an average of 4.571, 2026 ranks 33rd out of 40 for average #RAS.

Much of why has to do with volume of data, however, if we just look at the last 10 years, it ranks 3rd behind 2019 (4.623) and 2021 (5.55). 2021 was an odd year due to COVID, too.
