My thoughts too. Doesn't it make the idea of a rookie salary cap also a stronger case for trading into the first round of 2011? I know it's being called the deepest draft in some time but I think if the value presents itself they won't think twice about it. There are too many teams always willing to give up tomorrow for today.
The rookie cap next year impacts the first 15 picks. So, after the first day is done (that's what we're talking about here), that point is moot. The first round with higher salaries is already done. I think salary considerations at that point become irrelevant.
The only difference is in the quality of players. This is a deep draft, next year's will not be as deep. one could easily argue that this year's first 15 second rounders would have ended up in the top 30 next year. I mean, Dezmon Briscoe should have returned to school.
