I've had plenty of Round 14 guys get a few random talent changes and go on to be multi-year starters on my team. Same with the 5 star guy who lost some of his potential.
I don't like the randomness of it in the game, but it does serve it's purpose. You never know if that 1 star guy will suddenly "discover a new pitch" and become effective later on.
