once you are in the lowest leagues, often being all alone with 15 bots, you could get the best 3 draftees in that league

That's why I said that I would randomly share the rookies between the teams and not leagues. This way your "best 3 rookies" will be just like any other team's (I mean the chances). If you share draftees by active teams it could turn out that a 1-team league draft could be a superstar, a starter and a bench-warmer. The training and promoting are available now as well.


Any league has the same chance to get a good draftee

Correct. That's why now a 1-team league member has better chance then a 16-team league member. If bots wouldn't draft it could be equal chance. And it doesn't mean to give better draftees for D1 (it was someone else's idea in the first comment)

I really like the idea of a D league. Lots of details involved to make sure it's balanced correctly, but being able to train more players should be a valid strategy. Some teams IRL focus more resources on their farm system than acquisitions. Others are in a rebuilding period of years. A D-League that is a cost decision to make would add another fun bit of strategy and planning. Your suggested costs per week also seemed a bit high to me, but the cost should be high enough to make it a decision that every team won't opt for. Also, potentially the cost per week should be adjusted based on the division you're in?
