I hate how the #1 pick demands so much frickin money. How can this Long guy make more than say a Hutchinson who paved the way for ADP's record setting game. Jamarcus Russell making more than Manning and Brady right?
I disagree that they should go to a an NBA salary. With the risk of injury being greatly higher than in basketball, a #1 overall RB could tear an ACL and never play the same again. Guaranteed money is okay, but salaries are just rediculous these days.
I was going over league salaries once in NBA. Did you guys know Chris Wilcox is making something like 7 million dollars a year? NBA kids can make theirs after proving themselves, but in the NFL, a running back will have a good 3-4 years, then they're on the back end of a career.
I dunno how they can measure a talent of an offensive lineman. Sacks on the QB, rushing yards? Owell, we'll see. I'm anticipating a bust that is called Darren McFadden.
