He constantly talks about how you need a cap pool for the drafted rookies, but what he doesn't understand is that you are replacing vets on the team who are already hitting the cap with those said rookies. 53 players is 53 players. It's not an additional 7 players you are adding to the roster. You're replacing.

I suggest you all watch this Bengals free agency sim. Much better explanation on what the Bengals could really do:

I would hope Hobson understands that at this point but is just being conservative by just blocking out the entire cap space for the rookie salaries without accounting for displacement.
Although if you wanted to be conservative, you could just factor in the vet minimum salaries that displacement could cause.
