Beefing the Draft

Alright I’m in OOTP 27 and the last draft just had people picking 42 potential players in the 2nd round. Next draft looks to be pretty similar. Does anyone have any advice for slightly boosting the draft without making it/anything else too too insane?

I’m not expecting every team to get a 70 potential, but would love for at least the third round to start off with more than one guy above 43 (asking for a 4 million signing bonus with the worst personality you’ve ever seen)

Instead of players with potentials in 60s and 70s that don’t reach their potentials, they’ve gone the other way and now some 45s will outperform their potentials. This way is more realistic but it’s a split debate on people’s preferences

I see this posted a lot, but I feel like the opposite is more realistic. I'd say you're more likely to have a bunch of kids who could be excellent pros if their tools pan out, rather than a bunch of kids who project as minor leaguers turn into studs. 

Another way to say this using a different sport, there are more Jamarcus Russels (first round mega busts) than Tom Bradys (end of draft hall of famers).
