There were 775 players selected in the actual (real life) 1977 1st year player draft. It lasted 42 rounds with not all teams drafting a player by about RD 25 and only 1 team (STL) drafting a player in RD 39, 40, 41, and 42.

So I'm wondering ...
1) if these same 775 players will be available in the OTTP 1977 draft (held DEC 15)?

2) if draft is 25 rounds (400 players if all 26 teams draft someone each round), will the 125 historical players not drafted become available as free agents?

3) If draft is, say 50 rounds (800 players) will computer generate an additional 25 players to complete the draft or will draft end once 775th player is selected?
