I don't think it is a serious problem. Clearly everyone needs to fill out a valid auto-draft card and I think of the live draft as protecting players before that process. If someone can't afford all the players they have live-drafted then they'll need to leave someone off and fill out their card with an eligible 'untaken' player. That formerly protected player then becomes open to be taken in waivers by anyone (including the player who couldn't afford them if they now can by shortening their bench a little), but they'll be open to anyone in the usual waiver process.
