After a bit more investigation, I think I messed things up somehow...
During the season, just before the draft started, I noticed that the league priority was wrong (
Amateur Draft Order Mode). It was set to "
By League, Top to Bottom(...)" and I changed it to "
By League, Bottom to Top(...)".
Now, in the Last Draft Log, I can see that the rounds are duplicated. In the first occurrence of each round, my team is at the top of the draft and picked someone in every round (but I had no control at all). In the second occurrence, it is in the correct position but only appeared in 3 rounds.
The players picked during the first occurrence seem to have disappeared from the game.
My theory is that, due to the change I made mid-season, the game tried to emulate 24 rounds but only generated players for 15 rounds. I only managed to control picks from rounds 13-15, after which the player pool was depleted.
Idk if I should have changed this settings mid-season. I will wait until next season to see if things are corrected.
I uploaded the draft log at tiiny.host if someone is curious about it:
