I suspect that the amount of memory allocated to store the number of the round is not big enough.
You say you have 30 teams. 30 teams picking for 256 rounds amounts to 7,680 picks, so the guy should be the first pick in the 257th round.
However 256 is also 2 to the power 8. If the number of the draft round is stored in a single byte, it overflows after 256 rounds and the 257th round is displayed as the first round.
