Most teams structure 1st round picks this way. Picks after round 4 will have minimal impact on the cap replacing players already on the top 51. I have not looked recently, but I thought I saw only 5.3 million needed for our rookie pool.
Seems to me no matter who we add to the roster, either draft pick or free agent, the cap hit would be net of the player bumped out of the top 51. But Spotract had the same cap hit for our draft picks under both "total" and "top 51"
