There’s also an almost 1 million dollar difference per year salary wise between 8 and 12. That could be important to a team like NOLA where future salary is going to be very important. If you don’t see a big difference between 8 and 14th guys, and you can also maybe dump salary and pick up future assets, it is certainly in play.

Dead on fact. It makes a lot of sense.

I'm hoping Agbaji is waiting when we get our pick..

If rookie money makes a difference, it seems like trading for any decent vet contributor or starter would push the cap into that luxury tax penalty, right?

I woud figure they would prefer drafting a young & cheap future starter with this pick. Plus, it could be a while before they pick this low again.
