Are you saying though, that given a draft class that is filled with nothing but one-star potential players - that this draft class will produce a similar number of elite talent players as a normal draft class (with guys spanning 1-5 stars)?
I mean, I get that the development engine is certainly capable of taking a 1-star guy and making him into a 5-star and eventual HOF guy. But I wouldn't want to be drafting from 1000 near-identical talents and just hoping that a random pick becomes good. People want to draft players in the first round that look and feel like first round players.
Willie M is interested in Acuna having the potential that he knows is reasonable to expect from Acuna as of 2018 - not drafting Acuna and hoping there's a 1 in 1000 chance that his potential becomes Acuna-like.
I'm not totally discounting your idea - the development engine is cool in action and it can create legends from humble 1-star beginnings, but that's not what Willie D was after here.
