Everyone loves pointing out how La'el is going to make bank for coming back. He they're right, he is. But the other side of the coin is Landry, Beckham, Hill... guys who took a shot and left early, drafted early, and are making money a year earlier and are a year closer to their big contracts.

Are any of these guys outside of La'el considered in the top of their position? J. Collins and Mills are the only ones that should truly go because they can't really improve their stock much (along with too much young talent in front of them). Kwon has to become super productive to go anywhere better than 4th round regardless. Hunter needs to show pass rushing skills, which would greatly increase his value. Hawkins can easily become a first round prospect by playing at LT next year, and Vadal could solidify himself as a top guard by fine tuning some things.

At first I was like most that said get to the second contract, but with the saturated market, would you even get there? How about getting as much as you can upfront, and just praying, working hard, and doing enough on the field, to at least get a second contract.
