Why arent the 2nd rd'ers signing?

Not that we would care in Viking land (lol, sigh)

This was called out in another thread too

Here's why...

I'm sure the Texans ownership group will be popular at the next owners meeting.

Agents have been trying for years to get more guaranteed money. Now we are talking about second rounders. It will not stop there.

Nope. Nor should it. TV contracts are skyrocketing, most team values double every 5 or 6 years, revenues are through the roof and the salary cap doubles every 10 years. Player salaries are only keeping pace. The NFL's first ever fully guaranteed contract was signed only 7 years ago (Kirk Cousins). Now dozens of players have fully guaranteed deals, including all 1st rounders taken in the last few years. JJ's contract is fully guaranteed, as is Dallas Turner's. I think by next year it's likely all 2nd rounders will be guaranteed. Then 3rd, then 4th....

Not sure rookie contracts should be fully guaranteed.  Vets get contracts based largely on what they have done and the expectation that production will continue/increase.  Rookies haven't done anything and a large portion won't.

If this is the case, the scouts' jobs will become a premium.
