I know the compensatory pick is there but I think 1st round product> second rounder.
I can't see a guy like Keller being an NCAA risk because he should be good enough to sign a contract after year two of college. It's sort of reasonable to delay your pro career a year if you want to sign somewhere else (vesey), but nobody is going to pass up 2 years of a pro salary and 2 years towards the expiration of their ELC just to pick where they play imo.
