How about just let players go pro at whatever age the pros are willing to draft? Otherwise, take the education as your compensation.
If the NFL really wanted to draft kids right out of high school, or even very many first and second year players, they wouldn’t have a rule against it. Only a handful of skill players would have a chance, and the NFL is better off with a strong college system to develop the players so they can mature enough to compete against grown-arse men. The less developed they are the greater the draft risk and the more time and money they have to spend.
This ain’t the NBA.

That is two-fold. You're not wrong in that maybe a couple players a year, at most, would get drafted; however, that rule is also in place so they can have a free minor league system to see who develops and who doesn't before paying them. It's the most financially beneficial construct for any professional league in the world.
