		Two economists (Massey and Thaler) do an analysis of the NLF draft examining the value of owning the first pick in the NFL draft (and all of the other picks).

		So, very high draft picks are expensive in two ways: high picks can be traded for multiple lower picks, and high picks are paid higher salaries…We find that performance is correlated with draft order, as expected.
