Seriously do you not understand late round picks are guaranteed pretty much nothing?
Maybe to you $400K is "nothing" but to most of us it's a decent amount of money.
The non guaranteed part just means if they are cut, they don't get the full value of the contract. So if you sign a 4 year deal and get cut after 2 years you don't get the full contract. You do get to keep what ever signing bonus you had. Which for late round picks is much less than first rounders obviously, but it's still 6 figures at least. So if he is drafted and signs a contract he will get a good bit of money. Because rookies in generally make much less, teams do like to keep them on the roster. A player has to be really shitty to get cut in camp as a rookie but even then he gets to get is signing bonus.
You are acting like if a player is not drafted in the 1-3 that he has basically no shot of making it out of camp. Sure a higher percentage of late round picks get cut, but many stick around for a couple of years. They will give rookies every chance they can to make the team since they do get paid less.
I still have yet to see you explain why you think he would play well coming back, but won't in the pros?

Here's an example for you. The Browns took Ryan Miller G Colo in the 5th round with the 160th pick last year. He signed a 4 year deal for $2.278M with a $178000 Signing bonus (which is his to keep). The base salary escalates each year. If he plays out the full contract, he makes the full $2.278M, while considerable less than Rieff's contract, still nothing to sneeze at. And if Miller becomes a starter in the next 3 years, he could earn a lot more.
Ryan Miller Contract/
The bottom line is, it would have been a risk for Faulk to come back, while theoretically he could have come back and been drafted in the first. He also could have hurt his stock or stayed about the same Looking at some 2nd and 3rd round picks from the link above, the money is not much greater.. Brandon Brooks a 3rd rounder in 2012 by Hou is not making much more than Miller. So unless you are a first round pick, the money is not much different. So coming back to be a 2nd or 3rd round pick would not make enough above a 5th rounder to make it worth while coming back.
