We already have the Vikings as precedent. The agent will demand to be slotted as the player selected in the xth draft position while the team will argue that the player was actually the yth player selected and should be slotted accordingly. All that adds up to a protracted holdout and ill will from the very beginning of the player's time with the team.

It would be comedy gold, however, if the first hour of the draft had passed by and no players were selected because nobody wanted to pay for the overall #1 pick. Berman would freak, not to mention all the Giants/Jets fans in attendance.
