They are less valuable because if they ball out it is very unlikely we will even have the cap space for their 2nd contracts after unloading on the above mentions current young studs.
I don't follow this logic.
Only way we can afford to pay big contracts to Burrow, Chase, and Tee and others is if we are getting decent production form guys still on their rookie deals. 2022 draft picks will be on their rookie deals '22-'25. So it seems to me that if we are looking to give out some big contracts in a few years that makes the '22 draft picks MORE valuable. If we take on a bunch of big veteran contracts next season we won't even have the cap space available to give big contracts to guys like Burrow, Chase, and Tee.
