I believe if someone goes the entire year unsigned, in theory they can join the draft the following year (as has been talked about should a 1st rounder ever refuse to sign and wait the entire year out). Though to my knowledge it's never been done.
From an agents perspective, I think they might prefer the UDFA option, as they get to pick the team and in theory could get two or more teams to have a bidding war (unless some sort of limitations had been put in UDFAs signing)
