Also don't discount that a few versions ago OOTP implemented drafts with projections like you would see in the real world. Some users revolted because there weren't enough 70 and 80 rated players at the top of the draft. When shown this correlated with real life drafts? Well then it wasn't fun.

I do think WIUPIKE is correct about the "hand made" real amateur draft classes tending to have high ratings. As the game transitions to OOTP created players the ratings trend to more realistic numbers, but ratings that are still much better than real life. Just not as inflated as the default real life amateurs.
