what has changed for late round picks?
The term "late round picks" has changed with the new CBA. A franchise is paying virtually the same money for a 2nd round pick as they are a "late round pick"
All rookies get a 4 year deal. 1st rounders are eligible for a 5th year option to be picked up by the team.
No rookie can't renegotiate the contract until after their third year. So if a 2nd rounder and 6th rounder are going to make marginally different money, go ahead and start the clock to get to the second contract.

again, how does this affect "late round" players like turner, faulk, etc?

This is the key here.
So the sell now is:
Go prove yourself in the league and we'll get you a fat contract next time around. You have nothing left to prove there (school).
As opposed to before:
Give it one more year at school, and we can triple your first contract. (By moving up a couple rounds)
That's my take on it anyway. It sucks for CFB, but does take a lot of liability off the NFL. Monetarily anyway. Think of all those massive contracts that turned out to be busts. Hate to use a tiger as an example, but can't help but think Jamarcus...

I would hardly call $500k a year, guaranteed, a marginal difference. You could argue that it is for the franchise, but not an individual.

Just divide signing bonus over the life of the contract. All first year salaries are based on signing bonus + rookie minimum 405k.
