You are a top QB do you want to go early or late in the first draft round?

The higher you are drafted the better the pay

That is true

#1 burrow $12mill/year plus $23mil signing
#10 $5mil/yr plus $12mil signing
# 32 $2.7mill/yr plus $5.4mil signing

But after you factor in the postseason and SB odds of a bottom-dwelling team. Over a career, a better team might still make you more.
