So over the last few days I have been compiling information of what the consensus 5* rated players (using 247‘s Composite Rankings. This only covers those draft classes that have draft eligible players (2003-2012), and thus 2013, 2014, and 2015 classes are not included.
Out of those 10 classes there are 279 that have declared for the draft, Graduated, and/or are not in school anymore (quit for injuries, in prison, or decided to play baseball).
182 of them have made it to an NFL active roster (65%)
150 of them have been drafted (54%).
57 were drafted in the 1st rd (20%)
34 were drafted in the 2nd rd (13%)
32 were un-drafted but made it on to an active NFL roster (12%)
17 were drafted in the 4th rd (6%)
15 were drafted in the 3rd rd (5%)
11 were drafted in the 5th rd (4%)
11 were drafted in the 6th rd (4%)
4 were drafted in the 7th rd (1%)
