You quoted me saying that rankings aren't perfect, but then proceeded to respond as if I said they are.
I know this is a different sport, but I think this article illustrates that rankings are pretty reliable:
https://247sports.com/Article/NFL-Draft-recruiting-rankings-go-hand-in-hand--117819292/
If you don't feel like reading it, the relevant part says that roughly 57.6% of 5-stars get drafted, 23.6% of 4-stars, 6.9% of 3-stars, and 1.1% of 2-stars. If rankings weren't reliable at all, those percentages would be much closer to being even, but they aren't.
Thanks for this info. Seems pretty clear as a general rule that the rankings matter, even though there obviously are exceptions.
