Hi all, casual fan looking to learn a bit more about the draft system. I understand the basic premise, but what happens if a player doesn't want to sign for a particular team? For example a top player from Los Angeles presumably wouldn't be ecstatic if the Browns selected him first pick given how far away from his family he would be, and how bad the team are every year.
Also, how do they decide what to pay draftees, given that they aren't in competition with rivals to offer the best salary?
Finally, anyone the Pats are likely to be looking at for this year? I would assume defence would be the priority.
Thanks in advance!
