I guess it will probably take a season to see the true effect, but just looking at the rookie scale compared to what D players are going for, you can get solid players for the top rookie salaries. On O, you can't get squat for the salaries at the top of the scale.
As far as D players being undervalued, it may be like my longstanding contention that teams just don't pay enough for tight ends (case in point, Tony Gonzalez, who as a tight end but WR eligible posted the 10th most points had he been a WR, yet Darrell Jackson, who was the 11th highest scoring WR received a contract 687 cb more than Tony G's). I may be right, but if the market never changes to meet true value, where do you set salaries? Based on market forces, or based on true values?
