I mean, honestly, who doesn't realize the concept that signing a Draft class means that they are beating out other players on the roster?

If signing rookies was irrelevant to the Cap because 8-10 players would drop off the roster, why did the Chiefs need to cut Jeremy Maclin last year in order to create $10 million dollars in order to sign all of their rookies?
Again, there is some serious misunderstanding of the Rookie Salary Pool in this forum.

I don’t really understand the comment, there isn’t an immediate cut when you draft a guy right, so there is no impact to the dead cap. I can see that dead cap comes into it if you later cut a guy with guaranteed money, but doesn’t seem directly related to the draft?
