Face it in IE after the first round pickings were getting rather slim. 399 should have been a higher pick.

You are taking about finishers in IE #1, #2 and #3 in QA ...like that would ever form and alliance in elims which is the only point you for a solid alliance that does not change.
1-16 then reverses on last round so #1 always gets last of elim teams.

As was evidenced many times why many #1 alliances had much weaker third bots

I think you missed my point.
This is very possible at championships with similar teams with a deeper field in the future, or with these very same teams.
As a coach/strategist since our inception who influences our alliance selections, I understand your point.
