The Draft class and talent levels have no correlation whatsoever. A lot of GMs seem to think you can curb talent levels by lower the draft class depth but that simply isn't the case. The game will adjust the talent back to normal levels, so the the only end result to lower draftee talent is making the draft even more of a crapshoot.
Hollow ratings are actually helping the talent issues IMO. If they actual average talents levels of 90s and 80s players are below normal then if we were to head back towards the average we'll have even more teams stocked full of 90s players. As it stands now useful 80s players barely show on championship teams while earlier years of FCM (and reality) featured good but not great guys. If anything that would serve as another reason to lower talent I would imagine.
