There is no Rule 5 draft in 2008 until the season is over, at which time you can enable it, so you aren't missing anything (I am almost positive).
The only impact other than not allowing a Rule 5 draft in 2008 (which the game in it's official form allows you to select/deselect but not hold a 2008 R5 draft), is that it kind of messes up the need for a 40-man roster. You can still add the guys, but since there is no draft, there's no reason to protect them. Saves you the $390k per player by not putting 'em on, and you won't really need the 40-man until the September call-ups.

Not a big deal, but does take away from the realism a little. No need to waive/designate guys when you want to reassign them within the system.
