It does seem pretty ridiculous that the same agent could be negotiating against himself in this situation. That shouldn't be allowed.
The aspect I do like about this though is that it removes the players' monopoly on demanding how much money he wants before even setting foot on the field (although it is only for this single pick). In theory, though, if the Dolphins get these guys to bid against each other, then the number one pick shouldn't get out of control money, and that may help the teams that draft the subsequent picks. But the market seems sort of rigged if the same agent or agency can be involved in negotiations for the same draft pick and different players.
