Well I looked through the draft board and he really was never drafted. However, when I looked through the 'available' players that could've been drafted during the draft, I didn't see him on there either.
Was there a hiccup here where he didn't end up draft-eligible?

There was a glitch in the draft system where one of the teams got two players with one pick. One of those players was Frederick. No one noticed for like 2 or 3 rounds. Brorth finally noticed when he was on the clock. But it would not have been fair to throw Frederick back in the draft at that point, since undoubtably someone else would have picked him way before then. So we decided to leave him out of the draft and throw him into the FA pool.
