It doesn’t work that way. NFL teams will draft him according to how they evaluate him. And then he’ll get roughly slot money. It makes no difference what another player does, except maybe move him down 4 or 5 slots - and that doesn’t equate to millions. Maybe $20,000.

Here is what I found:

How much does each first round pick make?

Here is a breakdown of what the first-round selections figure to make over the course of a four-year deal:
