In my [league redacted] League (INT level) there are 24 rounds of players created for twelve rounds of draft, or 288 players total. In other threads I've read references to draftees going direct to the majors or AAA. That certainly isn't happening in this league.

I had the fifth position in the draft, and by the time it got to me the best player left was rated 20 (20-80 scale) overall against all players and 23 against players at his position. He had to go in at the lowest level of minors. I just checked the four teams that drafted ahead of me, and all of those players were also assigned direct to the lowest level. Only two players in the entire draft had overalls higher than 20; one was 21 and the other 22. (Note: Scouting is off, and there are only two levels of minors — AAA and AA.)

What happened? Is this what I should have expected? Obviously, no team is going to get any immediate help with drafts like this.
