Reason
There should be a difference between prospects. Obviously, some prospects are more "sure bets" than others, and the game should be able to distinguish between low-ceiling, low-risk guys, and high-ceiling, high-risk guys. Think, Julio Teheran vs. Chase Wright. This would also factor into college vs. high school draft picks.

Priority

Fairly high- this is a glaring weakness in the current version, and definitely affects prospect development.
I believe that the work ethic and intelligence stats more or less already encompass this. A player with low work ethic and intelligence but high potential ratings would represent a high risk, high reward prospect. Moreso if he began with lower actual ratings.
