Re: Jermod McCoy, the end of the 2nd round is an important dividing line. Starting at pick 65, the only guaranteed money in a rookie contract is the signing bonus. Also, 65 is the first pick that gets a split salary -- i.e., one number for weeks he's on the 53-man and a lower number for those when he isn't. McCoy's knee injury is clearly the reason for his fall, and starting in Rd 3 it may be easier for teams to take the risk.
