To replicate this issue, do an initial draft in a custom league, select enough high end players to go over your team's budget manually, then try to let the CPU finish the draft. It will skip all draft picks by teams that have already hit their team budget. In this particular case we manually drafted 12 rounds then had the CPU complete, a number of teams got to pick 18 before stopping selecting players. With only 18 players selected the teams don't have enough to ice a lineup and the farm team has 0 players sent to them.

Unfortunately you can't see how much someone will want in a contract before drafting them if you're not the commissioner or the team currently up in the draft.

It would be better if the initial draft could complete, and if teams are over their team budget they would have to make changes after (and presumably have a grumpy owner).

It is also important to note that despite our league salary cap of 85m, most teams have a budget between 66m and 70m regardless of fan base, arena size, etc...
