Nice to see. Seems pretty quick for the first rounder.

Interesting that none of the second rounders signed yet.

Now that WR Higgins - Texans(34th overall) is in the fold. That should lay the ground work for Burden to get his deal done. However not sure I agree with the full guarantees in Higgins deal. I suspect it wont be long before Luther, Ozzy & Shamar have there deals done as well.

Greg Olsen talks about rookie TE's with Steve Smith and Jessie Palmer. Olsen says he wouldn't draft a TE in the top 10.

First round and anything after 3rd round is easy as not a lot to negotiate. 2nd round is a bit trickier as some of them want some of the perks the 1st rounders get.

Maybe not in the top 9 this year but 10 was fine.

Do we listen to Olsen who sits behind a camera or Johnson who operated top 5 offenses and now a HC. Hmmmmm.

Houston made it worse by fully guaranteeing Higgins. First time ever that a 2nd rounder got that.

He references the value of TE vs premium positions, which is fair. He said “probably not” on if he would take one top 10. Though, he says you pay him top 3-5 TE money, which isn’t true of Loveland. I don’t think Loveland is even top 10 in AAV. There’s other stuff to consider too like premium TE availability. Teams don’t let them go.
