It turns out, the Denver Broncos knew what they were doing over NFL draft weekend.
One advantage to draft picks in today's NFL is that they're on cost-controlled contracts. The rookie pay scale, first implemented in the league's 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement with the NFLPA, addressed concerns about draft picks getting massive contracts before they even took a snap in the NFL.
That will change once 53-man rosters and practice squads are set prior to the regular season. However, by that point, the Broncos may have moved on from some players with a higher cap hit, whether through a cut or trade. Of course, the drafting of Bo Nix boosts that value. Quarterbacks on the rookie pay scale are much cheaper than even average veteran starters.
