It is my "outstanding" scout and the ability to now scout year round and not just for 30 days that leads my organization to know they have lower potential.

I think what is missing from the discussion is the player POTENTIAL not what they turn out to be.

While I agree that historically most drafts only turn out a few outstanding players - when drafted most teams think the top guys have tremendous potential.

a better reflection would be 10-15 players in each pool who are potential 70+ ( I hate star ratings) but only a few actually reach that potential.

This would absolutely NOT be realistic at all. You are talking about what some consider to be “fun factor” not realism.
