Hmm I typed up a reply but must have forgotten to send it, let me try again.
If I have a high draft pick, then I tend to favor high potential 18 yr olds still, but you are right they might not be optimal anymore. I like the added flexibility though of getting that extra season to mold them into what I want them to be. In the past, I remember draft where I get excited about a 5* prospect, but then he has basically no secondaries. I started revealing skills just as a way to try to see the secondaries I care about, but then I get carried away. I typically start though with OD/SB and then PS/JR, because I like OD, PS and JR on everyone if possible, so good call on Extra Pass.
This season, knowing I have a lower pick I did focus more on 19 yr olds. With my training spots all full I am hoping to just draft a cup starter, so potential doesn't matter as much as just skills. Not sure if I will find what I want though.
