Interesting thought just popped into my mind. The current rule is that picks 1-16 can sign a contract that is a maximum of 6 years in length. Picks 17-32 can sign a contract that is a maximum of 5 years in length. Then picks 33 to the end of the draft can sign a contract that is a maximum of 4 years in length. The idea is to split the first round between 6 and 5 years and then have the rest of the draft(rounds 2-7) sign 4 year deals.

However, this year pick #32 is not in the first round, but in the second. Does that player at #32 follow the rule of picks 17-32 or does it follow the second round cutoff rule?

You can bet you sweet bippy that this will be a sticking point when we negotiate with #32. Jason Allen all over again. Oy!
 
I don't think it is considered pick #32. It will be the first pick in the second round still, at pick #33. Pats forfeited pick #31, so it will be a max 4 year deal still.

they pick is still number 33 though ye, even if the person we take will be the 32nd person taken.
 
I think it all depends on what Miami and the player wants to do. If the player wants #32 money then they will have to sign the 5 year deal otherwise it'll be a 4 year deal with #33 money.
 
Your pick is still considered Pick 33

32 is there but forfieted.

Kinda like the teams that lose a pick in the suplimental the pick is still there but just forfieted is all.

So my guess is he would be in the 33 on cutoff
 
It's still the first pick of Round 2, and I don't think you could say it is the 32nd pick, when technically it is really the 33rd pick....the 32nd pick is forfeited but I think it would still be considered a pick.
 
We can all agree that it is pick #33, but the agent of the player will argue that he's the 32nd player taken in the draft and should be paid accordingly.

I'm pretty sure this is the correct ruling. It's going to be the #33 pick just the #32nd player taken.
 
32nd or is it 33rd picks contract

Haven't seen this topic yet here. How will it be negotiated? Usually 1st rounders get 6 year contracts and 2nd rounders get 5 year contracts and every penny saved is a good thing against the cap. With the Patriots losing their pick does it get treated as a 2nd round pick or will the agents push for it being the 32nd pick so it is a 1st. If so, who wins? I would love to see it count as a 2nd obviously.
 
will go as a second round....but good for us cuz will be a first round player
:) thats what i think ....
