Of course I know that, seems like you don't know what a 5* rating means, so I'll show it to you, straight from Rivals.com:
6.1 Franchise Player: considered one of the elite prospects in the country, generally among the nation's top 30-35 players overall, a potential first-team All American candidate and a player deemed to have first round NFL potential.
6.0-5.8 All American Candidate: considered one of the next-tier elite prospects in the country, generally among the nation’s top 300-325 prospects overall, a national All American candidate and a player deemed to have first to third round NFL potential
A 5* player is expected to be drafted in the first round. Not expected to be drafted, but expected to be drafted in the first round. Obviously not all of them do, but that is the expectation based on potential. If someone told me that a player is GUARANTEED to be drafted in the 6th round, I would say that player is probably a 4*.
I've bolded key word there. Potential. I'm talking about a guarantee. Roughly half of all 5 stars don't even get drafted.
