I thought teams received some type of compensation for failing to sign players drafted in first three rounds. ??? If this is true, it wouldn't be a total loss.

I would imagine this happens more in the later rounds. Teams know a kid's number, draft him, lowball him to death, then finally say 'take it or leave it' and the kid leaves it.

I don't know if you put that on the team, the player, or the 'advisor'... or everyone.
