The whole Hurd and Kongbo stuff got me thinking, so I did a quick look at the 2014 NFL draft. Players drafted in the 1st Round by high school star rating:
Rating 1st Round
5-Stars 4 (12.5%)
4-Stars 13 (40.6%)
3-Stars 12 (37.5%)
2-Stars 3 (9.3%)
Interesting. Only four 5-star players out of high school drafted in the 1st Round of the 2014 draft. Lots of 5-stars do not pan out.
