What were Milan Lucic's stats in his draft year? What was he in his draft year in terms of position in the lineup? Where was he drafted? Johnny Gaudreau was a first line top scorer in the USHL in his draft year where was he drafted?
If it was as simple as taking a players role and stats in his draft year the draft would look drastically different than it actually does.
There still is a lot of projection that has to occur, and a players character and background is a factor because teams rely on data like that for projecting a player. Also how a player looked to start the year and finish the year is a big factor too.
