The following players were on the final roster of Chivas USA but were not selected in the first two rounds of the draft. This list does not include players who were on loan to Chivas USA.
Two draft picks held by Chivas USA at the time of its contraction were deleted from the 2015 MLS SuperDraft and not made available for selection in the dispersal draft. These two deleted draft picks were Chivas USA's natural third-round and fourth-round selections. Had Chivas USA not been contracted these would have been overall selections #48 and #69 in the 2015 SuperDraft.
Prior to being contracted, Chivas USA had already traded away its natural 2015 SuperDraft round 1 (pick #6 to Toronto FC) and round 2 (pick #27 to Seattle Sounders FC) selections. It had also acquired a round 4 pick from D.C. United but Chivas had later traded this pick to Colorado Rapids. These picks, along with a round 2 selection in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft traded to Columbus Crew SC, remained with the clubs which acquired them.
As of August 2015, the league had not announced the fate of the extra permanent international roster slot acquired by Chivas USA from Real Salt Lake in November 2004.
