Generally I'd avoid drafting a player marked as Impossible. You can often offer a guy like that the biggest signing bonus in the game and he'll still refuse to sign. Sometimes a player just doesn't want to play for you, or promised his dad he'd complete college first, or thinks of baseball as his second love after football (imagining trying to negotiate a signing bonus with Russell Wilson), or whatever. If he's young, and Impossible signings are usually not college seniors, he'll be back in the draft at a later date.
