It's still worth it to invest and put a few good talents at the top. You are in a low league where some bots are below you who draft randomly and some less active teams which may draft badly.
In my experience if you are able to put 3 good players at the top of your draft you will likely draft one of them.
I'm usually looking for a Hall of Fame talent which is always a guess because 5 star potential can also be MVP potential which is still good. But personally I'd prefer multiple bites at the apple so that at some point I get lucky with my best talent and otherwise usually still get decent results.
You can even spend 10 point to scout the bottom 20 players and then interview between 5-10 of the best ones and put the best potentials to the top. That will cost you 20-30 points and then you can keep the rest for next year.
