Then if I try to autopick to see if any player is eligible I get this:
"no players remaining in draft pool"
Have you seen this issue? Know the fix?

Shoot me a PM with a link to your install and commish credentials to log in to StatsLab and I'll take a look.

I found out what the issue was and thought I'd post this up for you.
Apparently the draft pool players are not set up as "draft eligible" by the league on the very first day in which they are created. As soon as you flip the league file one day farther... it is then the OOTP gives them their actual "draft eligible" status.
In our case, as soon as we ran the next sim and uploaded the results to statslab, the players were all draft eligible. I went ahead and created a temporary league to test the theory once more and was able to duplicate the exact situation.
In the end, it's not and issue at all with StatsLab, it's just a very small bug in the OOTP code that is easily remedied by making sure than if you use StatsLab to start your ammy draft 75 days prior to the actual draft in-game (by having the players announced that early)... you MUST make sure that opening day is at least the day after the announcement of the player pool in game. Often this just means making opening day start on or after April 2nd, since the draft pool is usually announce on April 1st.
