The grass is always greener... I remember longing for a top 10 pick but looking at the draft boards I see very few 'franchise' players in the top 10. All I see is a bunch of pretty good players who will immediately be paid among the highest at their position.
For example a rookie in the top 6 will likely get a contract that is comparable to Samuel or Suggs, two pro-bowl players.
The whole setup is whacked.
At this point unless Long, Long or Feinstein, LLC. (or McFadden) fall to us I would trade back for almost nothing or just sit on my hands until the pick drops to the 11-15 range. At 11-15 a similar player could be drafted for 1/2 the money and still be retained for 6 years.
