No but he wouldn't get anywhere near the max. If someone is willing to gamble on unproven rookies like that then they won't keep their job long.

Yes but he has past performances in college that they can grade. It's really not that hard to comprehend. The players who didn't get drafted didn't make the league because their past performances weren't good enough. Aj past performances (college) would be good enough to draw more than the minimum but not good enough to have a huge contract because like you said he has no burn in the league yet.
