If you want to make a case as being the "goats " or close to it ( a euphemism for those last in their classes at the service academies), I suggest you take a look at whom in the past has been the goat and of course whom has gradated first.
I think you'll find that, there is very little practical difference once the balloon goes up. There have been goats that have gone on to great success and 1st in their classers that have crashed and burned…and vis versa, all in all its a poor metric in this case.
