Happy draft week!
It's been an awesome year and I've got some exciting things cooking for 2023. If youve enjoyed #RAS,please consider donating to help expand the site and help bring some new tools for the draft community in 2023!

We've been able to add some cool new features to the site this year, courtesy of @StatManEric, including the RAS Compare tool, which allows a side by side comparison of any two prospects compared all time against the RAS database.

We also added a calculator to every single player page, allowing for quick hypotheticals like what a player would score if they were just a little bigger, or if they had tested in an area they didn't for the year.
Like what if Jordan Davis had done the bench and average agis.
There are other things Eric did that aren't as apparent, but are just as important, such as streamlining my sometimes inefficient code to run faster and better on page load.
It's not always the flashy stuff that has the biggest impact!
In 2021, we were able to use the ad revenue generated from the site to pay our site fees after the draft, keeping the site for another year.
In 2022, we've already made that from ads alone, leaving the rest to invest back into the site.
Your donations have already helped, too!
Since 2023 is also the 10th year anniversary of RAS, we're doing a complete site redesign, both to make it look awesome and to address some of the concerns you all have raised about site accessibility throughout the year.
I'm stoked to show you guys how it's going to look, but I can tell you it's in good hands. Early designs look fantastic, I'm stoked for when it all rolls out!
