As far as POT goes, I believe it works like this: - Each player has a certain POT. - When they are drafted players are assigned skill limits based on their POT and a random factor. - Some of these guys will have more or less skill based on the random factor. - Additionally, given skills can be misscouted by as much as 20%, some guys will look worse/better then the actually are. It is possible that the 12 POT "Very good" is worse than a 13 POT "good" because of the random factor. It is also possible that the 12 POT "Very good" is actually better then the 13 POT due to scouting. POT however defines a specific SI total range (although occasionally players break their POT range by a point or two). 05 POT: 40 - 47 06 POT: 48 - 55 07 POT: 56 - 63 08 POT: 64 - 71 09 POT: 72 - 79 10 POT: 80 - 87 11 POT: 88 - 95 11 POT: 96 - 103 13 POT: 104 - 111 14 POT: 112 - 119 15 POT: 120 - 127 16 POT: 128 - 135 17 POT: 135 - 143 18 POT: 144 - 151 Shortish answer. "Very good" is generally better than "good", but not always. You should pay attention to the overall potential, as well as the rest of the scouting report as that gives you specific information about certain skill ranges (using the link Quanin provided).

Most veteran teams will end up fielding mostly POT 13s, several POT 14s, a couple well built POT 12s, and the occasional POT 15 or higher. POT 14s are pretty uncommon. Anything above POT 14 is pretty rare, that is why you see people posting excitedly when they draft a POT 15. I've yet to draft anything higher than a POT 14 myself.
