If I remember correctly, draft classes are determined on bell curves based on default weights. If a league has <X> number of "good" players at a position, that position will be weaker in the draft.
That's why some classes have 10 draftable QBs and other drafts have 0.

That is really good info, Seth.
Thankee, sai.
It sure does give me a reason to cast doubt on some prejudices I allowed myself to have regard the draft over time in any given league.
I, personally, "think" (being the right use in light of the nuggett you shared above), that draft classes are not necessarily diluted, but it is currently more important to look for players to excel "out of position."
As in: Drafting a "cruddy" WR in rd 2 that can actually have a great chance to be a RB (TE and FB being to hard to achieve Weight/time duration to gain need eg). LBs that become DEs etc.
I would appreciate any actual and/or speculative thoughts you have regarding my ideas that draft prospects have a better spread of applicable attributes vs. a concentration (edit: using default position weights as the standard).
It seems harder to find more than a coupla-3 WRs that have 80+ in the big 4 (spd rte catch brc) than it used to be - and also tall WRs. Yet it also seems easier to find a WR that has that height - and weight - to be a RB. on and on by position (allowing weight gain or loss/time).
Hope I did not ramble to confusion in my excitement. :)
