Response to A Closer Look....

 
I just ran across the following information about the first 100 players selected in the NFL draft as a link from another website: NOTE WORTHY: 5 out of the first 13 players(38%) selected were rated as 2* or NR by Rivals, and also 37 out of 100(37%).......still makes me wonder how well these ratings predict the draftability of a player....
