I think there is a box to check to import historical rookies as free agents. And, yes, turn off the draft.

Always do a test league first, though, to make sure you get the results you want.

However, I don't think there is any way to import rookies but have them play in an independent league and then be drafted. They would have to sign contracts to play for independent league teams anyway, so then they would never be eligible for a draft pool.

To my knowledge, you have to use minors or reserve lists, and you have to use a draft or have historical rookies imported as free agents. There aren't other options for games using historical rookies.
