Dumb draft question: For the players who are 'big name' coming into the draft, does their actual draft position greatly impact their contact payscale?

Posted by ty97 May 8 '14, 19:13

i.e. If someone was to draft one of the players who was predicted to go very high at #20, would they get a 'deal' on him or still have to pay him basically the same?

Players are slotted for salary. So independent of name, the #20 pick gets #20 money. -- nm - David May 8, 19:15
