Old Tweet, but informative

175 PLAYERS DRAFTED OUT OF THE 256 PICKS WERE 3 STARS OR LESS. 48 OF THOSE 175 WERE NOT EVEN RATED...NO STARS!!!!  #Dontletstarsfoolyyou

Thats a little misleading. Only about 1% of all college players get 5 stars and maybe only 2-3% get 4. Math says most will be other than highly ranked. I'd venture to say more 5 stars get drafted than 3 stars as a percentage of those given out.

The more interesting Tweet that I'm too late to look up was something like 35% of players on rosters in the NFL were undrafted. Here's a story on the Seahawks.

Now, is it more likely that 4 and 5 stars get drafted in the HIGHER rounds than undrafted?

Yes. 4-5 stars are way more represented as a percentage of stars given out.

Here's a basic run down answering the question.

And one for the draft.
