The table was originally sortable; however, I encountered many problems with continuity, especially with the years that had no first round pick. The colspans ruin the sorting and, in my opinion, the visual appeal of the table per Cr.6 was both easier to maintain and served the purpose of the table

Four other supplementary picks have been awarded to the

These additional picks are provided when a team loses a particularly valuable free agent in the prior off-season, or, more recently, if a team fails to sign a draft pick from the previous year.

Either is grammatically correct; trying to avoid duplicate "ands". The two states' numbers of picks also exist concurrently, strengthening the case for the use of "while".

Baseball's primary mechanism for assigning amateur baseball players, from high schools, colleges, and other amateur baseball clubs, to its teams.
