Considering the 32nd pick is normally in the first round, will we wind up paying "1st round" type money to this pick? Will compensation be based on last year's 32nd pick of the first round or the first pick of the second round? For you draft dudes, is there a big difference in signing bonus there?

Thoughts?
 
I doubt it since technically it is the 1st pick in the second round.
 
Depends who you ask. If you're asking the team - 2nd round money, but if you are asking the player and agent - 1st round money. It's likely to be somewhere in the middle, but I don't believe there is a big difference between the two picks.
 
Its going to be some drama, thats for sure...

I just hope it doesnt cause the player to hold out...
 
No no no, no team has ever recieved 2 1st round picks for the position they end up at the end of the season. If player X gets selected with the 1st pick of the second round wants to hold out for 1st round money they can go take it up with NE. There also was no guarantee that player X would have been selected in the 1st round anyways even if NE had a pick. To me this is a non issue, end of story.
 
ok, but what position would everyone like to see taken at #32?
 
In the following order of availability.
1-B.Albert OG (I can dream)
2-D.Conner ILB
3-C.Nicks OT
4-J.Hardy WR
5-K.Phillips FS

I believe one of these guys will be there (except B.Albert).
 
i know there is alot of talk about Kenny Phillips falling but i still dont see him falling completely out of round 1. I like your picks there though but would look to see Phillips in aqua and orange because we have absolutely zero play makers in our secondary.

What the heck is "first round money"?

The value of the contracts are determined by draft order and player position. A player selected 32nd overall will get a slightly worse deal than the 31st selected overall and a better deal than the 33rd overall. The fact that it happens to be the FIRST ROUND doesn't come into play.

In the end, the agents wait until the market has been established by one of the top 5 signing, then it trickles down until they feel pretty confident about what the number should be for their client. Agents are in no hurry because they really want to wait as much as possible for the market to establish itself.

Plus, having a client sign too soon and then get an undervalued contract means that next year's draft class will avoid you like the plague so, it's important to get the right value for the player.

Our 32nd player overall will make pick 32 money, not "first round money".

the player and agent will probubly try and get more money, while the team holds out.

I remember the vikings missing their pick a few years ago resulting in them taking a player later than they should have. The player demanded a contract worth where they were supposed to take him rather than where they actually took him (3-4 slots later). The player ended up holding out of camp for a while.

Normally guys sign (usually in the same range as the cap increase) 10 to 15 % more than the guy selected in the same slot as last year. Otherwise every year players would sign 1st down to the last pick of the draft in order. Even still Miami shouldn't have to pay more for nothing, picking a slot early doesn't mean you get a different player than you would have selected anyways.
