I disagree with this, OOTP does a good job of balancing things... we had that crazy good first draft when feeders were introduced so any 'weaker' drafts are just balancing out the talent levels in the league.
Players grow and develop their full potential after the draft, just like some with 4*+ potential bomb.
I'm against any type of tinkering to try to make things 'fairer' as it then benefits a given set of teams at that particular time, just let the game run it's course, it's a simulation engine, not something we have to try to tweak to match the expectations of a few GMs about what is weak and what is not.
The league at the moment has the right balance of quality IMO. There's strong AFBL rosters and also strong prospects but it's not unbalanced in either direction.
Those who whinge about draft quality/depth from what I've seen in other leagues just take one look at the number of 4*+ potentials and base their draft evaluation off that, they don't actually look into the type of quality and mixes of skills of players available.
Draft quality has looked about right to me, those picking 13-20 shouldn't be guaranteed of grabbing a 4* potential... and at best a 2.5* potential who could develop is what should be expected at the end of the 1st round, knowing that sometimes it's better and sometimes it is worse.
