I was thinking about draft night a couple nights ago and I bet the reason we got Mahomes at 10 was because of the 5th year option. In the top ten, that fifth year option is the average of the previous years top 10 at that position. Outside the top ten it’s the average of the 3rd through 25th highest paid at the position from the previous year.
So moving up to 10 was not only costly in terms of what was needed to be traded in terms of draft pick compensation, but the salary that Mahomes would make at 10 instead of 11.
Veach and Andy had to be in full blown love to know all of this and make the move.
I bet all the teams really wanted to move up to 11.
And I love it.
