Here is the thread talking about the issue.

Thank you for the link. I think I understand your ask. I was remembering 26 was similar, and indeed after simming by yr 3 it was at the same distribution after starting off slightly lower. 27 seems to work in the reverse for me, but I think still high by your request.
I admit, I was more troubled when they last 'tweaked' it back a few years ago and suddenly no player was ever found who could possibly transition to the MLB within a year (also not realistic).
I look upon draft values, much like International (but less so as they are older with more verifiable history), as compared with their pool, to be further scouted in my system. I may not expect them to remain 80 (except for rare picks), but I expect higher potentials to still be better players, which they generally are. That said, I do understand your complaint. There will be things that yank each of us out of the simulation.
