Recruiting rankings predicting NFL draft status and NFL success

[Quinncent McManning, Jr.]

 

 

Found this video highly insightful after the discussion about recruiting rankings last week on the boards.  Essentially looks at position by position, and determines how rankings predict draft status and All Pro level performance.  For example, rankings do well to predict QBs getting drafted, but are very poor when determining All Pro performance.  I found it interesting that LB prediction is poor both at draft and All Pro prediction.  Would be interesting to see how how the breakdown looks by college productivity / accolades, as we know that many great college players will never be great NFL players (or even drafted in many cases).

Haven’t watched the video yet but certain positions are difficult for recruiting analysts. Like linebacker,  I think corner and is tougher too.
