I said "wild stab"
I'd still like to figure out the numbers......it would be close
tons of bust 5* because some (said some so nobody throws names at me) are coddled little babies.
Probably/definitely right.......... I guess I just notice the 5* flame-outs more.Yea percentage wise, no way. Only because there are probably 1000+ 3 stars each cycle and about 25-30 5 stars. I mean it can certainly happen but there are alot of variables and alot of luck that have to fall into place. If you get a 3 star like cam sutton that had good offers from everyone its not that shocking. If you look at someone like Tony Romo that played ball at Eastern Illinois its much more shocking that he made it to the NFL. I dont know if the ranking system even existed then but if you compare it to the modern day recruits that OVC players get 3 star is actually probably a pretty generous rating.
It’s really not close at all. 60% or so of 5 stars get drafted, like 10% of 3 stars. I just looked and got tired of scrolling but on 247 I got to prospect number 1250 and stopped scrolling. The first 3 star was #364. So I scrolled 890 prospects that were all 3 star. Let’s assume I stopped at the perfect time and it was the last 3 star! There are 224 picks in each draft. Let’s just say fifteen 5* are drafted leaving 209 picks. And NO 4 stars are drafted. Even in that very conservative set. Five stars are at 50% and 3 stars are at 23%. And that’s assuming no four stars to.I said "wild stab"

Considering that many if not most of the NFL's best players do not come from the first day of the draft... it is likely that a pretty high percentage of the 3* draft picks are included.% wise? Most definitely not. Raw numbers yes, only because there’s way more 3*s than 5*s
Not the question. IIRC, about 60% of 5* guys will be drafted. Maybe more. That's good. But if you are depending on the recruiting sites as much as many do then you have to face the reality that over half of the NFL draft will be made up of guys who weren't given 4/5*.The study has been done before. 5* are far more likely to be drafted.
