Is 1st pick in 4th round more valuable than 39th in 3rd?

Is it correct that 4th round contracts are not guaranteed and we would only be moving back 5 spots

Maybe a little over your head there....if 4th round contracts are not guaranteed, then you can take a chance a player with "character issues" like Joe Mixon or health concerns like Sidney Jones.

This isn't the NBA.
The only difference is a slightly smaller salary slot and bonus structure.

Isn't the guaranteed money in 4th substantially lower than 3rd?

Once you get to the mid 2nd round, the guaranteed money gets insignificant. Players at the end of the 3rd round might see a ~$600k signing bonus. Ditto for players at the top of the 4th. There is no sort of "guaranteed money cliff" between the two.

In last year's draft, there was a $10k difference in guaranteed money between the last pick of the 3rd round (Justin Simmons) and the first pick of the fourth (Joe Schobert).

Thanks guys.....LINK
This article makes it seem as if there is a huge difference in 3rd and 4th round money.

Once a player falls past the third round, most draft picks will sign a 4-year deal in the $2.3-2.4 million range. The only major difference late in the draft is the signing bonus, ranging from $300,000-500,000 in the fourth round

with so many shite threads I like this one. Simple inquiry, simple responses, clarification, we move on.
Bbbbbut they still might want Manziel or Kap. And are they really against LSU players specifically?

i'd argue even if you do potentially save "a few hundred thousand", its probably more worth it to get the player you want rather than wait and risk losing that player you've been eyeing and end up with someone you're not as high on.
