You probably won’t even want to give him a second contract!”Okay, so? If I get 4-5 really good cheap years out of him from 25-29, is that really a bad thing? Bo Nix has a 5 million dollar cap hit in 2026. Is Bo Nix being 26 hurting the Broncos right now?There’s advantages and disadvantages to both:Young draftee - room for growth, might get 10 good years out of the player, but might be a project early on. Also too many people are ignoring the payroll considerations — sure you might get 10 years out of the player but 6 of them might be eating up $40M a year out of your payroll while 4 of them are at $8M a year on the rookie deal, just for an example.Older draftee - less room for projection and growth, but likely more ready for the NFL and easier to project. Might not improve a ton from their state, but might be startable and a “value” on their rookie contract.</blockquote>
