Finish means to complete something. Depleted, as said earlier, is good. You deplete a supply of something means you have run out of the supply.

No. Finish carries the idea of completion.
Run out of carries the idea of depletion.
You can say: I'm out of that.
We don't have any more.
Or, you could say, "Yes, we have no bananas. We have no bananas today!"
To be more serious I don't know a one word synonym for that idea in English.

Could be but I'd consider it a stretch. Finish means to end or stop while run out of means to exhaust, to consume.

No
He will "run out of" ideas.
He will "finish" ideas. That's not correct.

Would deplete or depleted work in the context of your sentence?

NO BECAUSE THATS TOO SIMPLE AND SUMS IT UP TOO GOOD!
