You should not ignore any possible source of talent when you're trying to retool or rebuild. Yeah, a lot of the college UFAs have been hot garbage but some have been really good. You have to take chances here and there and when most of these guys end up playing in the minors to start the risk is minimal. When we haven't drafted enough players to fill up our minor league system you have to find those guys somewhere.
