That doesn't seem like it can be right. If it were, someone would have already thought (long before the Clarett case) of using a late round pick on a star sophomore, just so that they would have the rights to the player when he became eligible and came out the next year. Using a seventh round pick this year to get a player who would go in the first round next year would be a steal.
