Rudolph's a smart fellow, and knows how to develop linemen, and I suspect that Alt and Fisher are going to have fine seasons.
Joe Alt's progression reminds me a lot of Zack Martin's, where he started out strongly, and steadily improved.
I know that someone's going to point out how Mac Jones was a 3 star player, or how various 2 star players manage to get become 1st round picks. That's not in dispute at all.
People just need to realize that there's such a small pool of 5 star players, and a huge pool of 2 and 3 star players, that the numbers are going to dictate that you'll find a fair number of hidden gems among that lower star talent pool. Out of all of the 5 star players, there's no doubt that a higher percentage of them are going to succeed (meaning, they get drafted, or drafted early, etc) compared to the lower star folks.
If you get 5 star talent, then those players are more likely to succeed, as long as their coaches don't destroy them.

can see a 5 star and know he's a 5 star. They are truly men among boys. If they are coachable and stay healthy, they are going to get drafted.
still rated pretty highly going into draft.

He's helping to run an org attempting to limit the brain injury that cost his dad his life. He's a 5 star in life...
Not much respect for Tregg Duerson's football abilities, though.
