Money isn't the only factor. Many positions have historically not been drafted high. Back when the money wasn't an issue. It is opportunity cost.
And, I do realize that teams consider the financial commitment at each position, but most don't make their decisions primarily on that.
As I said, there are no hard fast rules in the draft.
If there were a kicker that was litterally 100% in college, every kickoff was a touchback beyond the end zone, and legitamitely could hit 90% of their field goals from 80 yards.... he would be worth the first overall pick.
I know this is a ridiculous example, but it would have to be for a kicker to be worth the #1 pick.
Every team has a guide about what they want to spend, what they value the most, what they are looking for, but it is a sliding scale... few, if any hard fast rules.
