    RF Draft Prospects have too much speed - LF too little

    RF draft prospects have way too much speed (average low 80's) while LF draft prospects have too little (average upper 50's).

    Also it seems that RF prospects have weaker arms and power versus LF prospects.

    Its almost as if they are flip flopped??

    Obviously its not every prospect at those positions, but it seems to be more the rule rather than the exception.

    This is something I noticed really in '20 and again this year. My memory isn't good enough to remember if it happened in '19 and prior, but I'm thinking it did.

    Anyone else notice this?

    Wondering if its just a "luck of the draw" for me or something that is actually happening.

    Curious to read others thoughts/experiences.
    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

    I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

    I just drafted an 89 POT RF who is obviously an LF.

    No biggy though. Just change their position.

      yeah, what I'd do across the leagues is,
      any RF prospect with a Speed rating better than 60, I'd convert to LF, if his Arm Strength isn't at least a 55

      any LF prospect with an Arm Strength greater than 55, I'd convert to RF, providing his Speed rating isn't at least a 60
