"Four- and five-star recruits were 995 percent more likely to be drafted in the first round than their lesser-ranked counterparts."

"Consider this: While four- and five-star recruits made up just 9.4 percent of all recruits, they accounted for 55 percent of the first and second round. Any blue-chip prospect has an excellent shot of going on to be a top pick, if he stays healthy and out of trouble."

Based on 2010 class in 2014 draft:
