How much stock should the Colts put in the combines?

It is widely observed that Chris Ballard tends to draft players with a well above RAS (Relative Athletic Score). He is often given grief about this choice, fair or unfair. I have little doubt that the score is a factor in his draft process, but I would venture to guess that it is not at […]
