What percentage of Saban's OL recruits who were top 10 prospects overall drafted in the first round? 80-90 percent?

I agree with the premise that 5* OT hit at a higher rate than many other positions such as QB.

But its not 100%. Some of these guys play low level HS and when exposed to elite edge guys get chewed up.

Others like Love and Brockermeyer are being ranked as a 5* based on potential rather than their current level of play. If either of them had committed to the weight room and shown a mean streak they would both be in the NFL right now.
