31: 2.031M
63: 1.011M
95: 874K
Our current cut off for the top 51 is 731k, so all three would current count towards the cap in the off season.
So I'm surprised he has such a low assumption. I'll look through his tweets and see if he gives a justification for it.
He got the number from Overthecap, here:

The rookie pool itself is 8.3M, but they estimate the cap hit at just 2.7M.
