There is nothing worse than wasting a draft pick on someone who refuses to sign or you cant sign because your out of draft pick money.
Draft picks and cheap rookie deals are way too valuable to waste on even the chance that a pick will not join your organization.
Better to lose a bit of potential value versus getting no value at all out of that draft pick.

I guess what I still don't understand is that I've never really had trouble signing anybody, even rated "extremely hard," if I just meet their (unstated) demands. Is it because I'm relying too much on my scouting director? I almost always go by his recommendations, regardless of the other parameters.
So...on that point, how do you recommend prepping for drafts once the pool is released, or do you not do that much at all?
