I believe the league has essentially asked teams to quit doing it as to not impact viewership and leave at least some bit of suspense in #1 overall. The reason they used to do it was the #1 deal had to be negotiated and it took a pretty long time to get done, however with the rookie wage scale it is pretty standard what #1 will make.
Yeah, they want drama.
I like the rookie wage scale for many reasons.
I actually really liked the idea from Iloka about not including the QB's salary in the salary cap.
This sure would free up a lot of money instead of the QB eating up so much in one player.
