The top ten picks are insane, players union has a point that NFL players have shorter careers and rights can be easily retained...

teams have a valid point that they can be crippled by high draft pick busts.

Set up rookie system and keep contracts to a maximum of three years. I'd even consider two years, this will allow teams to fully evaluate a player and see if he's worthy if big bucks, and will allow top players to cash in earlier....

i think it's a win win for all...

Taking away the money won't be liked by either side, money would probably be the biggest problem in this. So, if you keep the big money the easiest way to fix the problem would be to make each deal a team option after the 3rd year. That way the player can still get their big money early while the team don't get killed if they want to get rid of the player.
