While logic dictates that's how they should be ranked, it's not. The rankings are based on pro projected draftability and none of the sites make no bones about it.


Ellitor, I know that they often state that this is the case, but it really isn't as cut and dry as you make it out to be. Want an example? The sites have no problem rating Kyler Murray extremely highly despite the fact that he is a ~5'10" QB. His "Pro Draftability" at that height is not very significant at all, so they are in this case clearly rating him based off of his actual skills and accomplishments. No one in the NFL looks for a 5'10" QB.

ETA: nevermind. I just saw Meta made that post and he knows his shite. I still think Murray being touted the next Johnny Football for 2 whole years and Johnny drafted in the first round had a big part with his 5* rating but I will leave it at that.
