I've put in red any value that is ~90% or lower or ~110% or higher than the 2018 draft. TDP and C ARM/ABIL are issues even in the standard leagues with no feeders.

I mentioned this in the other thread where we were discussing this, but the issues you're finding in comparing the feeder league classes with the quickstart draft class if anything, will actually mean that I'm overrating the players in the quickstart and need to adjust their values down, rather than that there's something wrong with how OOTP is generating other classes and that their ratings need to be raised.
Same with the amount of players that are fragile etc.
The debate as to whether draft classes should have higher or lower potential players is kind of an eternal one around OOTP (you can find plenty of threads about this with really spirited debate from previous years on the forums) and it's probably a debate we can't really win in that no matter what we do, someone is not going to be happy.
Obviously we want the draft to be fun but given that in reality there's little to no difference between the players being drafted in the 15th round and the 35th round (or signed as UDFA's) it probably doesn't make much sense to create an artificial difference between those players in OOTP just to make the draft a little more fun, especially since that could lead to issues with the overall talent levels in leagues over a longer period of time.
In the end, a lot of it is just personal taste. It's part of the reason the .pcm's exist, since they allow you to tweak things more to your liking.
That being the case, my biggest concern here is if adjusting the .PCM's is not changing the dp rating or C arm/abil or is changing the ratings incorrectly. Do you have a chart that documents that (maybe I just missed it)? EDIT: Markus fixed this, so never mind!
