very high? It's up $500K from the #1 pick last year. The RD1 contracts are fixed rates based on draft position, with no other consideration of positional value, cap room, or whether the player has a cutthroat agent or not.

Other than the slight increase (1.4%), the structure and terms are pretty much identical to last years R1P1 contract.

Just look at it this way.  Last year we purchased a Ford F350 and this year we purchased a Ford F150 for 1.4% more.

...but when you go to the dealership you're paying that 1.4% more whether you buy a F350, Festiva, or Mustang.

Every car on the lot had the same sticker.

Kind of a cool explanation there..

Jaguarmvp makes too many threads to the point where I wondered if it is an addiction.

Comes in a thread to complain about somebody making threads in a dead forum.  Nice!

I didn't say I think he's going to be Mack.  But that's his potential

Definitely a lot happier about this pick now I’m watching more, to me, im most impressed with the last 2 plays in that video, the screen and the potential RPO, especially the screen as no one talked about his football IQ which was evidently there.

Walker really doesn't remind me of any other d- linemen. It's like he was created in a lab.

It really all depends on one player, we can have the greatest defense, best WRs and an amazing RB... but if the QB throws for 12 TDs again it will be a very very long season.

I'll bet anyone anything they want that that doesn't happen next season.

He should have at least numbers that Herbert had as a rookie.
