Do shifting values in Franchise tag $$$ effect who the Chiefs take with #11?

To act as if guards pay has anything to do with that figure is silly.

Is there a single guard that makes 9.5 million per year?NICKS

That average is more than likely all left tackle or top ten pick money from the old CBA.

The farther away we get from those picks, the lower that cap figure will drop till it stabilizes around 8 million in a year or two.

Using that as a way to prop up a Decastro argument is foolish, at best.

This is what I have always thought, but I think Kalil, Mankins and Nicks are some of the highest paid guys on the OL in the league. Maybe even Hutchinson??? I don't know. Click on the wikipedia link to see how players have been franchised over the years.

Does anyone have a list of the highest paid OL in the league right now?

And I am not in the Decastro camp. I don't want to take a G at 11. But I am now reconsidering how low I have ranked interior linemen in positional value.
