Quote:I don't know, I don't really agree with this argument anymore. Before rookie salaries weren't slotted the way they are now so it never made sense to draft a position like DB that high. Now that it's slotted, I see no reason why not to pick a guy that high if he is high on your board.

 

Some of the funniest, moronic posts I read this offseason were complaints about what the salary would be for who we selected.

 

It doesn't matter... it's slotted and you can't do a thing about it.

 

Makes zero sense in looking at it in cash terms.  It's set.

 

Pick the player you value most, regardless.

 

Money doesn't factor any longer as it's mostly pre-set.  Only wrinkles or potential hangups are guarantees, options, and language.  Otherwise, you already know the ballpark of the overall package.
