There's definitely some truth to that, but what about those players that blossom after college? It's like, if you haven't developed the necessary skills to make it to the NFL when you're 22, you're done. You saw what happened with Kurt Warner. He got reps in the Arena League and NFL Europe and blossomed late. Having some sort of farm system for guys in their mid 20s seems like a good way for a team to get some talent, even if it means for five years instead of ten.
