What is crazy is that Nando's contract is just over half of the total of them. #1 picks get paid!! OliviaPope40 1 Quote

Yes they do. As the number one pick Nando got 57.3mm over 4 years while Cooper, as a first round #30 pick, signed for nearly 17.5mm. Pretty quick drop-off. Cooper at 17.5 over 4 years barely exceeds (by 17+ million) what I made in my first 4 years out of college. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
