Not a critique, just an observation. Demand and supply, I get it. Still, fascinating swings (even within the offseason) when you consider that the 75m cap never changes.

These numbers are spot on IMO and something that should be discussed with new GMs. The only outlier here is when you know for certain the pick will be top 5 or top 10. Then I could see that $5m go up a little.
