This was a really interesting to read. 

Out of all the 5* recruits in this years draft, 19 (13 in the first 3 rounds) were actually drafted, and 18 went undrafted!!! 

I'm not sure what it really says other than there is s 50/50 shot that any 5* player will actually be productive. Considering that there are only 30-40 5* recruits every cycle, 15-20 could be complete busts. 

Here is the list of all the 5* that didn't get drafted. I've highlighted the ones we were in serious running for/really wanted.
