In no way is the 97th pick in the draft comparable to someone like Kevin Zeitler.
It isn't...but then again...each Team has the same amount of salary cap space and there is revenue sharing. It's not like baseball where TV contracts give a team like the Yankees hundreds of millions to spend and a team like the Pirates doesn't have that.
I'm a bit surprised the NFL still uses this.
IF there draft were less unpredictable...they probably wouldn't.
