I apologize in advance if this has already been posted, but I thought this breakdown of star ratings and other categories of the players selected in the NFL Draft this past week-end by 247 Sports was interesting (I can't post the link because it keeps erasing the website name).  The star rankings have been discussed ad nauseum in this and other forums and will continue to be debated so I figured I'd post it...

Here are the breakdowns given of the picks in percentages:

5 Star - 7.0% (18 players)
4 Star - 26.2% (67 players)
3 Star - 41.0% (105 players - Marquis Spruill)
2 Star / Unranked - 25.8% (66 players - Jay Bromley)

For comparison purposes, I looked at the number of players ranked by 247 Sports for the 2009 and 2010 recruiting classes.

The numbers for 2009 are as follows:

5 Star - 30 (1.3% of the ranked players in the 2009 Class)
4 Star - 266 (11.7%)
3 Star - 1256 (55.4% - Andrew Tiller and Phillip Thomas were in this group)
2 Star - 717  (31.6% - Justin Pugh, Shamarko Thomas, Richard Anderson, Brandon Sharpe, Zach Chibane, and Alec Lemon were in this group)

The numbers for 2010 are as follows:

5 Star - 30 (1.2% of the ranked players in the 2010 Class)
4 Star - 278 (11.0%)
3 Star - 1560 (61.4% - Jarrod West, Marquis Spruill, Jeremi Wilkes, Rob Welsh, Dyshawn Davis, PTG, Jerome Smith, Keon Lynn, Micah Robinson, Jeremiah Kobena, Beckett Wales, Macky MacPherson, Adrian Flemming, Deon Goggins, and Michael Hay, Ross Krautman, Orlando Fisher, and Lou Alexander were in this group)
2 Star -  670 (26.4% - Sean Hickey were in this group)
