The GRE's are pretty bad, I agree. Two students from my department both applied for NSF grants. The one with really good GRE scores got it, though he was not a promising candidate, and not great at fieldwork. The other was amazing at theory and fieldwork, but bad at tests. Valuing them too highly is definitely a risk.
