I asked about this in reference to the 1991 Dispersal and Expansion drafts and Jeff indicated he would fix it - see link below. However after the last update I asked if it had been fixed and didn't get a response.

I ended up using the AI evaluations of the unprotected players to manually simulate the draft by moving players between teams post draft using the player edit function - not optimal, but better than perverting the real life rules.
I'm currently simulating the 91-92 season, so I'd very much like to see this fixed.
