The only subjective part in the code would be the formula to calculate the probability of each pick because you would have to decide the weight given to each data point in the overall calculation. The rest of the code would just be cycling through the rounds applying that formula.

Yeah, I think you'd want to do as much 'wisdom of crowds' as you possibly can here. And then lean into the law of large numbers.
If you can get several reliable sources in compiling your source board (and yeah, 'reliable' would be open to interpretation) and then run dozens of sims in creating the results, then you'd be combining the collective wisdom of several knowledgeable individuals and then using large numbers to iron out the randomness of the results.
