it is clear on the players page where it says 'Player X was pick #X in season XX draft, by team ABC' If the player had already been draft that year, it would have said Seaon 18 draft.
like I said, it didn't say if/when he was drafted. it was a fault on my part like I said, but I was suggesting that there be something to prevent this from happening in the future, which is why it is in the suggestions not bugs.
