My understanding of our cap situation, with Andy & the picks, is that we are a smidge over. However, that does not take into account displacement, the guys who will/can be released because of who we drafted. Whether that is guys like Price, Redmond, & Schreck or higher priced guys like Dalton, Williams, or Gio.

I have no idea what rollover cap is, but they seem to think we do not need to jettison Andy to sign our picks. Though we are $3 million over.
We traditionally do not value guards (Zeitler), but perhaps that has changed with Burrow. We could take various routes to improve the line. Draft: best OT at 33 or Ruiz, or depth guys 3rd round or later (allowing us to waive/trade Price or Redmond). Trade: Thuney or Trent Williams. FA: Jason Peters.
I'd focus quickly on improving the line, toys for Joe (WR, TE, perhaps Gibson or Bowden), and 2-3 picks on D (LB, edge, DL).
Remember, we are also #1 on the waiver wire, and there will be cap casualties. We will need some cap space for that as well. There will be an after draft trade/waive/pickup period as well.
