Am I missing something?

We just had our automated draft. ATG7 200mil salary cap. I am wondering how certain teams end up with so many great players and others with few since I assume its a serpentine draft and the computer picks the best player for you if you don't get your original pick.

I looked over the teams and I counted the players on each team worth over 10mil

The Natural - 4 players
YSU Brews - 3 players
Little Reds - 3 players
Willows - 3 players
Red Devils - 4 players
Victors - 2 players
Geezers - 9 players
Sandbar - 7 players
Wave - 3 players
Spreklers - 4 players
Lightening - 5 players
Club 360 - 4 players

of course I am wondering because I am the victors and I only got 2 players and everyone else got so many more esp the Geezers and Sandbar.

the sandbar looks like he drafted in a similar way that I did, but he seems to have gotten almost every player that I chose or wanted, in fact Charleston is the only player of the 25 I chose that I actually got. Is that normal?

I think I might be in for a long season.

The way the draft works this happens all of the time.

The entire draft runs before the computer goes back and gives you replacements for the players you missed.

For example: if Hornsby is your first round pick but he is gone, you done get assigned Lajoie to replace him. The entire draft runs and then you get assigned the best 2nd baseman that is still available. Probably Boone or somebody. So you got a $8m player for your first round pick.

Make sense.

It's really tough to come back from a shitty autodraft in $200m. Not impossible, but tough. It takes a lot of drafts and a lot of thought to figure out how to maximize your draft at this cap. There are a lot of threads on this.

Good luck, dude.

How the Auto List Draft works

The Auto List Draft uses the following logic to draft the teams:
If a player was selected by only one team, that team gets him.
If a player was selected by more than one team:
The team that ranked that player highest gets him.
If more than one team tied for ranking that player the highest:
That player is randomly awarded to one of those teams that ranked him the same.
For each team that lost out on a player:
The team receives the next highest-priced available player that is not on another team's draft card and has the same primary position of the original player that the team lost out on. The player received cannot exceed the original player's salary unless no other players remain at or below the original player's salary.

- Here's an example.

Team A Team B Team C
1. Sandy Koufax $11.03M 1. Reggie Jackson $7.46M 1. Luis Aparicio $3.57M
2. Al Rosen $5.18M 2. Al Rosen $5.18M 2. Reggie Jackson $7.46M
3. Pie Traynor $5.13M 3. Chief Bender $3.72M 3. Al Rosen $5.18M

We start with all the players that were selected by only one team. Team A gets Sandy Koufax and Pie Traynor, Team B gets Chief Bender, and Team C gets Luis Aparicio, because each of these teams were the only ones that chose these respective players.

Reggie Jackson was chosen by both Teams B and C (in red). Team B would win out on Jackson because they had him ranked #1, and Team C would get the next highest-priced available player who plays rightfield as his primary position. The replacement player they receive would not be on any other team's draft card.

Al Rosen was chosen by all 3 teams (in green). Teams A and B both had him ranked #2, so he would go to one of those teams randomly. Let's say he goes to Team A. Team B would get the next highest-priced available player who plays third base as his primary position. Team C would get the next third baseman after that.

If you can understand that, you should have no trouble with these:
