Shouldn't there be more variety in the draft to begin with? Shouldn't there be some players that MY scout thinks might be diamonds in the rough? We don't get that...we get a pile of players to draft with an uneducated guess.

What is your scouting accuracy set to? I get mislead all the time but my accuracy is very low.
Also "diamonds in the rough" comes from uncovering. If your scout knew a guy was a diamond in the rough during the draft, then he would be a diamond already in your scouts eyes. Why wait to draft this guy in the 15th round instead of the 1st? Raw talent and diamonds in the rough are two different things.
I personally think you are handicapping yourself. You play with ratings off but are you using feeders? We all know the scout reports aren't deep enough to rely on them solely.
