It's really pretty simple; you just judge players the way you judge real players. By their stats. What was Tony Gwynn's Contact rating? I have no idea, but I bet it was pretty high since he hit well over .300 every year. What is Aroldis Chapman's Stuff rating? Dunno, but I know it is better than just about anybody else's.

Drafting is not difficult. The only thing that puts a little twist in it is the competition rating. Experience is the best teacher.

P.S. Contrary to what you may think, having feeder leagues does not make drafting easier. The stats the game generates for draftees are much more reliable than what you will get from feeder leagues, whose numbers are generated purely from Actual ratings, rather than Potential ratings. And at that stage of a player's career in OOTP, his actual ratings have very little to tell you about his potential.
