Question about how talented these 800 was might play in. But those draftfiles then looked a bit different and can those "numbers/ratings" be transfered to FOF0 csv files ?

When I made the draft files I rated players from a 0-9 following the typical talent ratings. I hope to do a big post on my methodology, it will actually bring some interesting historical debate, but I don't have time now. Anyways, for the old draft files they needed a number between 375 and 625 for each skill. I took a players base overall rating, or the rating I have for the skill if I rated it separately as the lowest it could be, so a 2 overall would start with a minimum of 425, the rest was determined by a (625 - base) * random number ^ n + base. So to answer your question, you could scale the results from the files over to the new rating range and they should scale properly.
I know the colleges were messed up, I'm guessing the hometowns are as well, since Jim has likely renumbered them.
