I don't think either of those is particularly desirable and there's probably a happy medium somewhere in there. I want to feel like I landed a guy or two who will probably start and some guys who could start if things break right but will probably be a AAAA/reserve type on average.
I think OOTP really needs more high-risk guys in the draft pool for later rounds (and they need to be apparent to the person playing that they are high risk) but that would be a pretty big change to the player creation and development model. EDIT: Reason being that I don't think OOTP really creates the "raw athlete" type of prospect correctly. They should have high ceilings but very low floors.
