Out of these picks, 3 belonged to one franchise, White Sox. In 2029 draft they will have 3 1st round picks in top 30, and they probably won't be able to sign anyone over slot demand is my guess. AI probably needs to set more budget aside for draft picks in off-season, or change their initial offer when drafting to meet demand so they aren't just snowballing comp picks they can't sign and prioritize the early picks with their budget.
Or maybe I'm just presenting 'happy numbers' but that's at least how it looked in that simulation
Either way, there's bound to be some variance in the outcomes, and there's probably a reason for the developers to take a look at it, but I don't see any reason not to start a long-term save once the patch is officially released.
