Star rankings for NFL draft Rd.1

Damn. But we should definitely not care or worry about losing a 4 or 5 star guy

So 4 stars are the best bet

No

9/32 is a damn good hit rate


What are there, 100+ 4*s?

It just reinforces that 4* and 5* rankings get it right a lot because they have far less in recruiting rankings. That means the probability is much higher to have success with 5* and 4* recruits. Also shows how their limited resources are when lots fall through the cracks and develop. It's not rocket science here.

5* is best bet followed by 4* based on the first round. That's how it's done on recruiting and is correct. There's only about 30 5* a year if that sometimes so to have 9 drafted is amazing. I think there's over 200 4* every year and then obviously 3* is much higher than that.

They grade it as:

5* - instant impact player with high draft pick written all over them

4* - all-american potential player who has high draft ceiling

3* - usually raw but has NFL ceiling and sometimes a varying late/high draft ceiling potential or all-american potential after heavy development. raw that need refining and usually slow developers.

2*, 1*, NR are players that the recruiting services simply shite the bed on because their resources are limited. They're not a big name, they don't go to camps, they slip through cracks. Obviously all have to develop some slower than others which is hard to project and why you get your busts.

13/32 > 9/32

13>9

Keep this simple

There’s roughly 30 5 stars. 9 got drafted in the first round. There’s about 250 4 stars and 13 went in the first round. That’s the math in question. Around 30% of the 5 stars to around 5% of the 4 stars.

I know this. I’d be more than glad on taking my chances on a class of all 4 stars is my point. Of course I want 5 stars also

This is a solid grading philosophy. Whose is it?

I've had a problem with 247's 5* philosophy where they drop guys based on how NFL teams draft their position. So like, they would drop a guard from 5* status because NFL teams supposedly don't draft a lot of guards in the first round.

Just goes to show the ranking systems are sht actually. Only 9? The way they swear by their rankings that's low as hell.
