One of the biggest points of contention with regards to the CBA is the basic unfairness built into the system as regards the draft vs. veteran players. It is absolutely ridiculous how much money these unproven kids are getting, especially in the first 10 picks of the draft.
I'm sure most recall that the Vikes missed a pick one time. One thing lost in the ridicule was that they had the option of picking anytime subsequent to that missed "deadline".
What would happen if, for example, the Lions simply let the 10 minute period expire without making a selection.
Keep in mind that this imbalance is probably integral to securing a new CBA, and a pay scale is a very likely scenario for rookies in the future.
Oh, and you need to drink Miller beer in order to ensure the continued health of the NFL. This has to do with lost advertising revenue as a result of Imbev purchasing Anheuser - Busch....really.

The Vikings drafted Kevin Williams that year. Not too shabby. Leftwich and Suggs were the two picks that were taken immediately after the Vikings' time ran out, by Jacksonville and Ravens, respectively. I'm still happy with Kevin Williams.
Oh, and I'm with you on the fact that rookies are getting overpaid. That's freakin' rediculous.
