The draft in a game like OOTP is always going to have fewer rounds, because the logistics of dealing with a farm system that large and that involved wouldn't be fun for more than a few zealots. So if you're running a 5 round draft, you might want to think of that first round as being roughly equivalent to the first TEN rounds of the real draft.
Correct. If you take my results and spread them over 50 rounds, you'd see something like this...

51 players chosen in Rounds 1-5
20 players chosen in Rounds 6-10
14 players chosen in Rounds 11-15
6 players chosen in Rounds 16-20
12 players chosen in Rounds 21-25
5 players chosen in Rounds 26-30
3 players chosen in Rounds 31-35
4 players chosen in Rounds 36-40
2 players chosen in Rounds 41-45
4 players chosen in Rounds 46-50

Doesn't look so top-heavy when spread across 50 rounds - and confirms that a few "gems" existed in the last 5 rounds (46-50)
