I'm uncertain if this is the appropriate forum for this concern, but I figured I would give it a shot. I have some concerns about the quality of the draft pools in my league.

To summarize, I created 2 leagues - one with a 5 round draft and one with a 25 round draft. Now, I would think that the depth of talent in the 25 round draft should be much deeper - likely close to 5 times as deep - as the depth in the 5 round model. What I found was that regardless of draft size, the game always creates the same rough number of 5 star, 4.5 star, 4 star, etc. players then finishes the draft out with 1 star guys.

In the 5-round setup, 33% of the pool was made up of 3-star or better players which would signify a very deep draft to me. However, in the 25-round setup, only 6% of the pool was made up of these same 3-star or better players meaning that by Round 6, you're left to draft nothing but project players that need help by way of ratings jumps to ever make it.

It would seem to me the % of depth should increase as the draft size does. Has anyone else found this trend and been a little concerned with it?
