I am in the Vin Scully world. We recently completed our rule 5 draft for which I had the second pick slot. I did not pick until the 32 pick. How does that happen ? I got a guy I never would have selected and missed the one I wanted.

If you're right up against the cap and you don't have the funds, the AI waits until someone off your squad is drafted to free up enough space.

So, I imagine you didn't have $327k at the start of the draft so your pick was bypassed. Then later in the first, someone was selected off your roster. Thus allowing you to pick in the 2nd round.
