Do unsigned draft picks disappear forever?

[BillyMadison]

Hello everyone, enjoying playing OOTP26. First time since... 2009 (my last post, ha).

I'm in 2028 at the First Year Draft. I got #4 in the lottery, which got pushed down to #6 because of two comp picks (unsigned draftees, including last years #1). Here's my question: is there any way to see what players were not signed? When I go to "Draft History" and go to 2027, it actually excludes the players who did not sign, and just shows the players in the universe. The "Last Draft Log" does not show them either because I am at the start of the current draft and it just is showing the 2028 draft which hasn't started yet... I also tried to look through news logs or transactions logs. No dice.

What happened to these guys? Is there a place to see who they were? It seems like an oversight that I can't even see their profiles let alone their names. It's like they were never picked. Will they reappear as college athletes in a few draft classes?

I'd like to know who these guys were and it's weird to me that history does not remember them, like anywhere, in the game.

Thank you.
