Last year we had a big board going into a draft. Assuming we had the same big board last year, but pick 7, would you rather have pick 7 or pick 3? Just think of it like this:
DHB, pick 7 last year signed a five-year, $38.250 million dollar contract. Tyson jackson, pick 3 on the other hand (who was by the was projected out of the top 10) got a contract with 57 million over 5 years. (the highest in team history) Now, which would you rather have?
Tyson Jackson, with a 57 million dollar contract with 31 million of it guaranteed, or
Tyson Jackson, with a 38 million dollar contract.
I don't know about you, but I like to micromanage in these economic times, and 33 million dollars in savings sounds like a great deal.
So even if we have a small drop off in talent, the price we will be saving our asses from is well worth it.
