All the draft does for a team is give them exclusive rights to sign and develop said player, there is no obligation on either side to put their name on paper if there is something they don’t like. Yes it sucks that the team has to invest time and money, but that is part of doing business.
That is one of the reasons that longer shot players are drafted from the NCAA in later rounds, because a team invests virtually no time or money in the player for up to 4 years.
