They literally have no other way of valuing player.
1. If he has value, we scout him in college, and that is his value, pretty much for the rest of his career.
2. If we did not scout him in college, he must have no value (see number 1 above), and therefore, is of no interest to the organization.

Very little. He got passed by Jalen Coker rather easily.How much of a break do you guys give him for the qb situation?
I wondered that too. Does this mean Cooks is out for good? Because I can't see their giving up on that other coveted pick Tolbert.I wonder if they got a bad report on Cooks. Doesn't justify the compensation regardless.
