One added component is that he was not offered a contract.
Does that make a difference.
If players are out of college eligibility that shouldn't matter, and now becomes a programming issue.
Think about this for a moment. I'm the #1 overall pick, out of college eligibility. If I sign I get slot. If I don't sign, I can pick the team I want to go with, and get a signing bonus X Amt larger than slot.
Logically, it doesn't make sense and would destroy the draft process.
