Again the draft picks won't cost $5 mil when you are starting out with a top 51 calculation. The only pick that makes significantly more than the salary slot they are replacing is the #1.
The 2nd makes roughly what a guy like Brightwell makes ($1.1 mil) and he will be cut. Once you get to day 3 picks, they make less. Outside of Rd1, it is a wash. And that is assuming no oicks replace a higher sakary guy (Stone, Pratt, McPherson, Volson, etc).
