re: NFL "Late Round" Rookie Salary Differences: 2008 to 2013

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"
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...

you can still "triple your contract" if you can move into the 1st round from the 3rd or worse
