...The One-Minute Pundit

Friday, April 25, 2008


Last year's top five picks--LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell, Georgia Tech receiver Calvin Johnson, Wisconsin tackle Joe Thomas, Clemson defensive end Gaines Adams and Penn State tackle Levi Brown--took just under a third of last year's rookie money, while the top 10 picks accounted for half. Those breakdowns are in line with those in 2000, when the top five picks took home 32% of the money; the top 10 picks took 51%.

So how does ESPNCORP turn THE DRAFT into a two-day industry?
