new millionaires

does anyone have a reasonable breakdown or forecast about the money the draftees can expect? I realize there is a lot of talk about Tunsil losing 8 to 12 million with his drop to 13. and how about the guys that did not get drafted but signed "free agent" deals....

These rookies now don't get these mega deals that they once got. They are all playing for that second contract. I'm sure Tunsil lost a little bit in signing bonus but if he plays well through his rookie contract, he will get a big contract in a few years. I have a hard time believing he lost anywhere close to $8 million.

the max deals that can be offered at picks #5 and #13 are $20mil and $12mil respectively. Hence, why people are equating the precipitous, Knemdiche-like drop, to an $8mil loss.

or atleast that's what I've read on the twitters.
