I think that it's about 30% of players that sign a 2nd contract sign it with their drafted team.

That tells me that rookie age is less important then if they only have a 1 in 3 chance of getting a second contract.
Obviously, higher the Draft position the higher % the 2nd contract is with the original team.
One way to look at it is that if the older player is better than the younger counterparts then you are not spending 2-3 years developing them and getting lower production. The older player should be better able to step in and be productive early on.
The big thought is older rooks might not be good into the later years of their second contract, which carries risk.
I agree. We draft aa player for 4 years (sometimes 5). I'm fine if he's a 5th year player who is 25. In fact, I think that this is an advantage. Of course, folks here would never say that a player is only 23, he has so much to learn.
I don't want to see an anemic Playoffs Offense again...you get the Young TE especially if it's glaring Need!
Lots of good TE options in the draft this year.
