You may have a college Sr taken in the 7th round get much less than a HS kid taken in the 25th round. The Sr may have more present tools, less upside & no bargaining power (School is over). The HS kid can bargain. Giving up a scholarship, more projection, more potential upside = more $$.
Unless you are a first round pick or some special circumstance, both players will get a shot to play & fight their way through. The younger HS kid will get more time to develop.
Big $$ signings & First Round guys will get every opportunity to show they can't play.

Thanks Steve. It makes a little more sense now. The draft round can "also" indicate the present level of ability.
