"Skewed due to randomness of 2nd and 3rd rounds"

Every team is exposed to the same randomness of a 2nd and 3rd round, unless I am mistaken?

By itself knowing potential or salary means nothing. Could be anything.
Knowing that, plus what they invest into draft. Now that has a different meaning altogether.

Now you can see trends vs luck. Patterns vs scatter. Etc.

I'm just saying that it wouldn't provide any valuable information in my opinion.

Understood.

However some people or coaches might find it valuable to know who drafts well and trains up their own consistently, vs who drafts well and sells out players to others, vs who just buys other people's players and trains them.

And some conspiracy theorists can twist it and bend it and use it as insane argument as to point out farm teams when you combine this with other pre-existing features and records and activity and etc.

Not my intended purpose of idea but not outside a realm of possibilities either.

I personally think it'd be fun to see/know tangible draft patterns for people.
Maybe people will feel like the draft is less of a crap shoot, maybe then instead of a few teams getting 3 good players and others get none or one. We'll see a more even distribution (when no bots) of everyone gets 1 good draftee out of the bunch. Who knows?
