Pats Screw Picks

It just occurred to me that with the Pats forfeiting their first round pick that some poor college kid is going to get screwed out of some money because Bill Belichick is a cheater. Because there are now only 31 first round picks this year, the first player taken in the second round really should have been a first rounder (the same theory holds for the first player taken in each of the new rounds). But the biggest impact would be in the difference between "first round" money and "second round" money. i'll have to check on what the differences have been in the past but it is gotta be at least tens of thousands of dollars.

 

So thanks, Bill. You're cheating is now negatively impacting innocent bystanding college kids. Maybe the Commissioner should use some of the fine money paid by Bob Kraft and Belicheat to reimburse these picks for their lower salaries due to the Pats' forfeited pick. Or maybe Bill could be a big enough man to contribute it out of his own $5 million annual salary.
