Assessing the Cap
#24
I will give an example so those who don't seem to grasp the concept get it.

Say we take Michigan S Daxton Hill in round 1. The #31 pick salary slot is $2,294,331. So we have to have $2.3 in cap space to sign the pick, right? Wrong.

I like Spotrac better than OTC, but they have us at 61 guys. The 51st cap guy would get bumped in their cap calculations: Keandre Jones for $825,000. Subtract that from the $2.3 mil. The net effect on our cap, the cushion needed for the pick, is less than $1.5 mil.

Once you hit round 5, the guy getting bumped makes MORE than the rookie. Of course, this is just them following the rules. You have to count the highest 51 salaries in the cap, even though some of the guys on lower salaries will make the team in the end (say, Chrisman and C. Evans). That is why it is an estimate.

Further, why should Hill's selection, a DB, impact Jones a LB? What would actually happen as a result would be one of the S guys would get bumped: Thomas, B. Wilson or Henderson. Brandon Wilson makes $2.5 mil with $500k dead cap. If he goes because we take Hill, the net cap impact would only be $300k for our first round pick.
