I think the rookie contracts have changed the face of the NFL.
High dollar positions like QB, OT, OG, and pass rushers, are at a premium early in the draft because they would break the bank if you wanted to sign a stud in free agency. The same goes if you have a good player who's at the end of his contract. Just look at Oakland, they let Houston walk and then drafted Mack. Smart move, Mack is obviously younger, more talented, and cheeper. Houston's cap hit this year is over 5m, and increases to 7m for the following 3 years, and the final season is 9m.
