$50 mil guaranteed
.....gawd the NFL needs a rookie salary cap.......BAD
Further evidence...look how quickly the guaranteed money drops... #1- $50mil #8- $23mil #24- $8.5mil #52- $1.9mil How much more could teams do with veterans if they weren't handicapped by SOOOOO much money having to go to high draft picks? This also has an effect on how teams GETTING the high draft picks are actually handicapped in building a team compared to those who, at least, maintain a middle of the pack record.......I mean, if you look at a lot of the teams who've had top 5 picks in recent years...how many of them CONTINUE to end up with records 'earning' them yet another top pick....and another large guaranteed contract. Miss just ONCE on a pick (ala Oakland and Russell) and it costs you for at LEAST 2-3 years....

He got a ton of money, but at least he signed "early" and has the right attitude.
Redskins’ No. 4 pick Trent Williams gets 6-yr deal ASHBURN, Va. (AP)—Trent Williams never got to sleep Thursday night as he waited to hear from his agent. The No. 4 overall pick in the draft had already missed one day of Washington Redskins training camp and wanted to be a holdout no longer. At 4:30 a.m. Friday, the call came. Williams would get a six-year, $60 million contract that includes $36.75 million in guaranteed money. The team’s new starting left tackle needed to be at Redskins Park by 6 a.m. to sign the deal and suit up for the 8:30 a.m. practice. By the team the 2 1/2 -hour workout was done, Williams was running purely on adrenaline. “I’m going to try to get me a nice little nap here in a couple of minutes,” he said. Williams became the first top-five draft pick to report to camp in a year in which first-rounders have been especially slow to sign. He was determined to have a deal done quickly, even changing agents at one point because he wanted a representative who would get him to camp on time—or close to it. “If I’m going to be plugged in at a key position, I can’t be out too many days,” Williams said. “This is a new offense, and we need chemistry.”

Let's look at the Raiders, Lions, and Rams top draft picks since 2007.
Raiders 2007 #1 pick Raiders 2008 #4 pick Raiders 2009 #7 pick Raiders 2010 #8 pick Lions 2007 #2 pick Lions 2008 #17 pick Lions 2009 #1 pick Lions 2010 #2 pick Rams 2007 #13 pick Rams 2008 #2 pick Rams 2009 #2 pick Rams 2010 #1 pick So the Raiders in the last four drafts have had all top eight picks. Three out of the last four drafts the Lions have either had the first or second pick in the draft. The last three drafts the Rams have either had the first or second pick in the draft.

Mathews gets $25M deal from Chargers
SAN DIEGO (AP)—Running back Ryan Mathews signed a five-year, $25.65 million contract with the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, with just more than $15 million in guaranteed money. The heir apparent to LaDainian Tomlinson, Mathews was expected to be at Sunday’s late-afternoon practice. He missed seven practices, including three for rookies and selected veterans last week. San Diego moved up 16 spots in the draft to take Mathews with the 12th pick overall. He’ll replace Tomlinson, the 2006 NFL MVP who was released in the offseason and then signed with the New York Jets.
