Draft? No.

Buy from market? Yes.

Like others have said before me, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to deliberately choose a worse player in the draft. I imagine you would do this because you prefer to train your players for your own roster and don't want to sell. I would think you could find this type of player in the second round instead of purposefully throwing money down the drain in the first.

Now if you are talking about the player market, I have definitely done that, with my current team and previous iterations. I can get a quality starter-all star player who is ALMOST capped and finish him off how I prefer for much cheaper than I could with a similar player of much higher potential. Every team needs those 10-25k type players that come off the bench or start in special situations. I prefer to train all of my players to fit my needs for financial reasons and because it makes me enjoy this game more.

YES. Definitely.

A+ with 4 potential balls beats A- with 5 potential balls.

If plan on having more than 3 trainees then it's a no-brainer, since you will never reach his cap.

I've been training 2 positions since I started this game, now my players are well rounded and I'm beating teams who pay 3x more than me for their starting 5's salary.
I have a couple of MVP's who could just as well be perennial-allstars, it wouldn't make a difference to me because I'm not selling them.
