I wouldn't say that's spot on. It's 11 out of 32 that they hit. Remember, they do extremely stupid stuff like downgrading recruits as COLLEGE PROSPECTS because they don't think they are what a prototypical PROFESSIONAL left tackle or edge rusher looks like.
I don't give a fuck if someone is a prototypical NFL position-specific prospect if he's going to be a badass in college at that position. So if they're going to do stupid shit like downgrade incredible college prospects because they're not incredible NFL prospects then they better at least get that right.
Here are the top 10 2021 247 recruits:
#1 Quinn Ewers - 7th round
#2 JT Tuimolau - 2nd round
#3 Korey Foreman - Still in college transferred from USC to Fresno State because he sure as shit isn't a first round pick
#4 Leonard Taylor - Undrafted free agent signed with Jets
#5 JC Latham - #7 overall pick 2024
#6 Jack Sawyer - 4th round
#7 Donovan Jackson - #24 overall
#8 Caleb Williams - #1 overall 2024
#9 Emeka Egbuka - #19 overall
#10 Tommy Brockermeyer - lol no
4 out of 10 were first round picks. This is the cream of the crop, the ones they spend the most time on, when they tell everyone that they rank based on NFL projection. Which, of course, is stupid because their subscribers care about college football. And they still can't bat .500 on the most heavily scrutinized prospects.
Look, overall you want better classes. Throw them all in a bucket and you'll be much better off signing a bunch of top prospects. But that graphic is terribly misleading. Every single one of those 4-stars you see is a miss. And I haven't even gotten into shit like Walter Nolen who the NFL drafted on projection and sure as shit wasn't a 5-star college player.
