So we have 17 available nations (excluding the vet picks and water nations). Grouped into 3's and ranked from least to most desireable. That's 5 groups of 3's, I guess the sixth round/group would only contain 2 then?
Regarding the AI choices. If your intention above is to reserve some "decent" nations for the AI by assigning them out of the first round picks, that might work, though I'm sure Gandalf will be able to work with whatever is left.

I would just go with five groups of three, leaving two nations unbid for (increases the chances of no conflict).
Order the groups from most favorite to least favorite. Absent conflict, you get your entire group of nations.
Each team are going to put together concepts - so this lets a team get its entire concept - rather than a hodge podge.
If the entire 5 rounds go through with one or more teams with no choices, remaining teams repeat the process.
