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.

Well the 5th round has come and gone. We are midway through the 6th. Do you have an example for a late 6th or 7th rounder.....or more likely a free agent?
Fwiw....ESPN rates 8 undrafted OTs higher than him. It looks like his name is not going to be called today. I hope I'm wrong. I hate it for the kid.
Edit: several OTs must have just come off the board. They currently have 3 OTs ranked higher than Faulk. There still is hope.
