Rookie draft pool (amount to sign our picks) is $11.87 million, but those 7 players will displace 7 other players already on the roster.  I think league minimum salary is $610,000.  So even if the seven players replaced are the 7 lowest players currently on the roster that is $4.27 million.  This means the real cap space needed is about $7.6 million.  We currently have $8.95 million cap space.
