The main point is that some people seem to believe that the Chiefs (or any team, for that matter) can just sign their draft choices because those draftees push 7 or however many guys past the thresholds of 51 players, therefore not raising the cap.
The issue they all seem to be missing is that while that is true, teams still need available cap space in order to sign their picks.
They’re not cutting the bottom 7.
