A lot will depend on how good your scout is and what he favor tools or ability etc. And how much you spend on scouting. If you load up the extreme scout tendencies you will see a huge difference in ratings. From heavily favors tools to HF ability.
Then the next factor that lets high prospects hang around in say rounds 1-5 but especially 1-3 is if they are impossible to sign.
I know at least in my playthroughs of OOTP19 in order to get an impossible person to sign I have to throw 2x or 3x the money they are requesting. If anyone is requesting around 3 million I just go over the top at 8 million.
You only got 1 shot to sign them and when I tried just to go a couple million over they never accepted now I just blow their doors off. I've spent 30 million in a draft before. Its not my money and I'm not the owner so if I have budget room I am using it at draft.
I usually budget 15 million for draft. If i use it at the draft cool. If not I can use the remainder at the deadline to take expiring contract of a player on the trading block. Then flip that player for a prospect because you can eat the contract and trade him for free. Kinda how NBA teams deal players. Here take this guy owed 10 million rest of the year here is a draft pick. I'm just using that in MLB terms and getting a prospect. That's mostly for rebuild mode though.
