Spotrac estimates the 31st pick alone will be $2.3 mill.
You need to add potentially all the picks making the roster, which could be $6-7 mill in total.
Then you have to have IR reserve, which most teams (Bengals especially) reserve between $2-5 mill.
Therefore, it's safe to assume that the Bengals will hold on to ~$10 mill going into the draft.

The effective amount of cap space the Bengals need for the ENTIRETY of their 2022 picks is $2,684,645.
Look at the data.
Each player drafted displaces an existing (often veteran) player; typically, the drafted player is cheaper than the displaced player.
The 1st rounder and the 2nd rounder are typically more than the displaced player, but the 3rd - 7th rounders are cheaper.
Don't believe Geoff Hobson's propaganda.
