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.

That would be way too many superstar players. You have to figure in the developmental cycle as well. This game is not meant to be easy. You don't draft superstars... You draft potential superstars that your team develops into superstars. This is not the NFL draft where you draft to fill holes immediately. Your most fast tracked drafted is probably 2 to 3 years from helping your team.
