Small school doesn't mean low student enrollment. It means competition. Troy plays in DI, and for example played against Florida, Arkansas, and Georgia last year, and will play LSU this year. Tennessee State plays in a DI-AA conference that is relatively weak even by DI-AA standards.
Cromartie only scored a 38 on his retake of the Wonderlic. While that's an impressive score (despite the fact the Wonderlic is ridiculously easy, it amazes me how badly NFL prospects score on it), his original 19 is below average. Ali Highsmith's 7 means he's functionally illiterate and probably bordering on having severe mental deficiencies that he cannot compensate for. Don't expect Highsmith to be a Patriots pick, despite the fact he seems like he'd be a good fit.
And yes, it was a case of paying Samuel or paying a 1st round CB. It's the same amount of money. If it made the cap too tight to select another player, you make a bad trade and head back in the round. Remember, there's always someone willing to trade. It might just not be at the right value.
