Really interesting article by the Washington Post on the top 100 players from the 2007 recruiting class.
The fact that the top seven all not only made it to the NFL, but made it long enough to qualify for an NFL pension seems pretty amazing. The success rate (as far as getting to the NFL) from the next 93 is shockingly low. It really drives home the point that scouts are able to identify the absolute best of the best, but outside of that extremely limited group, it's a anyone's guess what a player will turn into.
