Per Ben Baby, the approximate cap hit for all the 2021 NFL draft picks (assuming Bengals keep them all) is to be about $9.4 mill.
It's important to know this, as the Bengals could go a few different ways when accounting for this.
They could reserve (at least) $10 mill to ensure they have enough to sign all their draft picks or make additional cuts prior to signing the draft picks in order to free up enough money.
Given previous history, I would guess the former is how they will approach.
Per https://t.co/xwN2BwNMg6, the Bengals have around $43 million in cap space. That doesn't include the estimated $9.4 million the Bengals need for the incoming rookie class. https://t.co/3eY4v8toKz

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
