Really, it comes down to a handful of players in each class that make up the starting 22.


Because the numbers make it obvious - 5 stars are substantially more likely to be impact players and make the NFL, followed by 4 stars, then 3 etc.

The more of those you have, the higher your class ranking, and the higher the likelihood that you find those impact players.

I’ve got no issue with our class, but the stars and rankings matter quite a bit.

Stars certainly matter in the broad sense. In the macro it’s a good system, but in the micro it’s not that valuable.

The idea that someone can tell the difference in the No. 100 and 250 player is absurd.

They can make a good guess, and over the course of 1,000 players, they may have a successful average. But individually, no.
