I will take our guys,...... Go Deacs!
According to this analysis, Rivals does nail it on occasion. In the last five NFL drafts, 28 of the 159 first-round draftees were five-star Rivals picks. But the overall numbers are less impressive. More than half (54%) of the five-star players identified by Rivals over those three seasons weren't taken in the NFL draft at all. About 81% of the four-star players and 91% of three-star players weren't drafted.
In a four-year period between 2004 and 2007, for example, the University of Miami landed six five-star recruits. But only one of them was drafted in the NFL. Only one other even managed to make an NFL team
ESPN usually does a look back article on their top 150. They look at college production and if they were drafted.
