Stars doesnt mean much seriously, som 5 star recruits dont pan out while 1,2 & 3 star recruits make it to the NFL.

It's just a recruiting service rating, what happens in the weight room & off the field means much more than some recruiting guru's rating.

The star system and the NFL draft

When I saw NFL draft guru Mel Kiper's mock first round, I looked back to see how many stars the projected selections had.

According to Scout.com, of the 31 projected selections (New England doesn't have a pick), nine were five-star prospects out of high school. Eight were four-stars and eight were three-stars. Six were two-stars. Make of that what you will. What I make of it is that there's not a significantly better chance of a five-star being a first-round draft pick than there is a four-star, a three-star or even a two-star.
