Many are legitimately good assessments, but a ton of the rating world is for content to prop up their media company with engagement, ads, and subscriptions. I’d give them 50% weight in anything below a 5 star — which are usually super clear.

Analyzing the NFL Draft selections over the past three years (2022-2024) based on high school star ratings provides insight into the correlation between early evaluations and professional success.
2022 NFL Draft:
• Five-Star Recruits (top 25-30): 19 players drafted.
• Four-Star Recruits (next 250): 73 players drafted.
• Three-Star Recruits (next 750): 110 players drafted.
• Two-Star Recruits: 32 players drafted.
• Unrated Recruits: 21 players drafted.
These figures highlight that while higher-rated recruits (four and five stars) have a notable presence in the NFL Draft, a significant number of lower-rated or unrated players also achieve draft selection, underscoring the multifaceted nature of player development and evaluation.
