Pick inventory is inferred from one original pick per roster per configured round for the next three drafts, then Sleeper's traded-pick ownership overrides. Unusual commissioner edits may require correction. Heuristic units: R1=100, R2=45, R3=20, R4=10, later=5; multiply by 0.85 per year beyond the next draft. No exact pick slot or market value is assumed.
