I'm running through my first play and took the 1961 Pilots to try out the expansion draft. When I got to the amateur draft for that year I noticed that the Pilots and the other three expansion teams were selecting in the last four spots. Is this correct?

Yes. It changed from last year's version, but that's how the June amateur draft(s) operate in real life.

You do mean the 1969 Pilots right? And yes that is where they are meant to be due to getting that raft of players in the expansion draft and not having a record in 1968 upon which to base their draft position.

They are placed at the end of the draft order because that's how it was done back then.
