If it bothers you that much, turn scouts off for the inital draft and then turn them off after the draft.
Alright, thanks for your responses related to the matter.

However I am just wondering, was the Inaugural draft considered when designing the new scouting system? As of now it seems as though the Inaugural draft would be a complete crap shoot and basically based entirely on luck. I like to use scouts in the inaugural draft (Due to some variability in ratings, the scouts preferences in players, and so on), but it seems that using scouts for the inaugural draft in the current system would be pretty much impossible.

I think it would have made more sense if the initial scout ratings at the start of the league would be calculated using the OOTP 8 system (Without taking into account experience in the league), where there is still some variability (Based on the skill of the scout) and scouts will rate players based on their personal strategic preferences so using scouting in the inaugural draft would still be viable.
