Do we even have 40 dudes under contract right now? I don't think we do. We have plenty of space for those guys.
Here's a way to look at it. The cap accounts for only the top 51 contracts on a roster. And those 7th round picks WON'T be among the top 51 cap hits. That's how little they matter - the league cap structure doesn't even consider those guys when the rubber hits the road.
We have 8 picks. Frankly I think we need about a dozen additions. If anything there's ample cause for adding MORE guys and certainly no roster pressure to turn those 8 into fewer of them.

Not only do we need players this year but we have even less under contract next season. **** spending picks to trade up for a WR when this team needs depth and starters at key positions. I'm all for sticking at 29 and then trading down from 30 if we can get decent value.
