In the NFL Draft, the difference in lifetime salary between being drafted in the first round versus the second round is significant. For the 2024 draft, the first overall pick is expected to sign a four-year deal worth approximately $38.5 million, including a signing bonus of $24.8 million.
The final pick of the first round is expected to sign a deal worth around $12.75 million.
In contrast, second-round contracts start at around $9.9 million and drop to $6.3 million.
This means the highest-paid second-round pick would earn about $9.9 million over four years, while the lowest-paid second-round pick would earn around $6.3 million.
To summarize:
First Round:
Highest: $38.5 million
Lowest: $12.75 million
Second Round:
Highest: $9.9 million
Lowest: $6.3 million
The difference in total contract value between the highest-paid first-round pick and the highest-paid second-round pick is approximately $28.6 million. Even the lowest-paid first-round pick earns about $3.45 million more than the highest-paid second-round pick over the four-year period. This significant disparity highlights the financial advantage of being drafted in the first round.
