Veach doesn't typically do that, though. He usually looks for pretty young players.
But on the 3rd day, he appears to just look for guys that can contribute and do so quickly. So we seem to have some 3rd day picks that are older rookies.
I doubt it has anything to do with getting 'prime seasons' on their rookie deals - it's probably just that older rookies are devalued a bit so you can get better quality ones later in the draft and then pump and dump them.
