Rookie contracts were absolutely debilitating back then when a high pick busted. The rookie scale didn’t start until 2011, and guys like Russell helped usher it in.

Well this tells you exactly what SP will do,REACH for
a QB if he cant draft up to the top 4.SP was the reason
for the SAINTS lack of talent,he allways drafted players
with injury problems or drafted players woh werent rated
to be picked as high.SP sucks as an general manager.

True but the teams had no say so in the compensation of a draft pick. It was all determined by draft slot. At least with JaMarcus there was some unlocked potential to him. The Broncos gave up on basically 3 drafts for a guy everyone knew was past his prime with 2 years left on his deal and STILL decided to give him a massive 5 year extension.
