I am looking to develop a weighted formula to help draft. What ratings should I give priority to and which ones should I not care much about?

No one is going to give you a formula(at least I know I won't) but you can look at league leaders in the stats you prefer and get a real good feel for what's working.

For position players range, glove, arm strength, arm accuracy, contact, power, vL, vR, eye, possibly pull, health, makeup, speed, base running. And you need to account for pitch calling to include catchers, and keep in mind other ratings affect development so also have some value. For pitchers durability, stamina, health, makeup, control, vL, vR, velocity, gb/fb, P1, P2, P3, P4, P5.

That's the sarcastic version of my answer.

Again, you know what you value.   Is it OPS?   RC27?   Batting average?   Stolen bases?  Whatever it is, look at the league leaders.   You see their ratings.  Work backwards from there.    In all likelihood, the league leaders in your chosen category will have something, or several somethings, in common.
