I believe the rookie scales is fine, the only thing I think is a bit high are WRs but people draft rookie WRs thinking down the road so it evens out.

I don't agree with Dodgers that rookie RBs are cheap. Who can say that any of these RBs will be premium? So why must we pay them top tier money. I have Portis and drafted him 8, he's gonna run me 1000+ plus each year for his 5 year contract. That's not cheap for me. He's getting paid about the level of Warrick Dunn or Antowain Smith, guys who are proven NFL RBs (note: I did not say fantasy RBs).

Plus I'm not in any favor of changing the RBs pay as long as we have Shuan Alexander costing less than a PK!

We chose to increase our DS and Active Roster next season with anticipation of the current rookie salaries. So if others do want to lower the salary then we'd have to change our previous votes for the DS and Active squad.

So I think the scale is fine but this league is all about majority so we'll see.

Still the best damn league ever!
