And as the contract costs of first round picks is increasing very fast (look at the increases in guaranteed dollars) - I expect Bill to continue this for the forseeable future , unless a rookie salary wage is instituted. There is diminishing value in first round picks as these first round contracts continue to increase at a faster rate than other round contracts (again see the guaranteed dollars increases).
It's increasing, but not nearly as much near the bottom of the round. A five-year contract at #22 would run somewhere on the order of $10M/5y. Even the #10 contracts are only about double that number (see Mayo, Jerod).
