Expected rookie contracts

James Walker over at the worldwide leader has an estimate of the AFC North's rookies' contracts. He lists Mack's estimate at 5 years and $13 million. Compare that to Cincinnati having to pay the mentally questionable Andre Smith $50 million over 5 years, and keep in mind that if we stayed at #5 overall we probably would have had to pay more than that. I'm not as concerned with the salary cap as many of you all, but the difference in pay is pretty remarkable.
