those didn't get adjusted down considerably until about 10-12 years ago.
I think it was Gabbert's draft year that the NFL drastically reduced the contracts for draft picks
I remember looking at where Gabbert was drafted, and then the player drafted the prior year in the same position and it cost Gabbert like $10million on his rookie contract, being a year late to the party
