I've always argued that stars(to some degree) do matter. Now this isn't the college game, but the percentage of each speaks volumes. Yes, more 3-4 stars may be drafted each year, but the percentage on the amount of those players is significantly higher. I had to redo the chart so it'd work on this forum. This also only overs the first 3 rounds.
