But the drafted player salaries take the place of the salaries on the bottom of the top 51, so basically every player drafted takes a different players 500k off the books.

Still could bring in a DT or two and have plenty of cash

I think it's fairly easy to do a great job with current money. The trick is to do it while also doing a great job with the money a few years down the road.

And that 5.1 million is also including the first round pick we dont have anymore .

I will check that out.

You understand what iean about the top 51 though right?

Only the top 51 count towards the cap. So when you bring a new player, someone elses salary falls off the counted cap.

No it does not.
According to the link that ChiefsandO'sfan provided to OTC.
They show you two ways to figure the rookie pool.
One is that you can use ($480,000 x number of picks) = 3,840,000
You can do the math the long way and add up the value of each pick but you don't come up with the same number that OTC shows. Which is as follows
2cd - $901,468
3rd - $731,334 from the Skins
3rd - $690,095
4th - $640,687
4th - $638,761 from the Rams
6th - $518,622
7th - $499,228
7th - $497,345
Total $5,117,540

Either way we are still at $5.1 rookie pool that has to be held for the Salary Cap.

I just hope Veach will do good with the draft and the upcoming trade I am sure because when I look at this team, if we had kept Peters, the Chiefs would be so close to having a bully on both sides of the ball.

For some reason, I pretty much expect the same level of play from the Dline this season, even though Jones and Williams have the potential to give us better play than we had last year. This being said, I love the LBs group and I really hope the draft can give this team a strong secondary, which it absolutely can with a trade up for a top shelf CB prospect and a safety in the 3rd round.

True

I just like that they’re using the rookie qb pay and pressing in

[Couch-Potato]

Bagh! We can always just offer a large signing bonus and low salary. Seems like you can always work it out in football.

Rams will have a great defense. However they have plenty of holes. Amusing considering some peoples despair at the chiefs few holes on defense.

Anything after the 3rd round is a gamble. That’s why I’d always be willing to trade picks in rounds 4-7 to get more picks in rounds 1-3. I’d gladly trade my 4th rounders to move into the 3rd round.

I say this every year. Turn 8 picks into 3.

It's not only holes, it's depth as well.

The Chiefs secondary is razor thin. They need at least 2 more CB's and 2 more safeties, not to mention depth on the defensive line.

O City has mentioned it many times but it's a ****ing travesty that Eric Reid isn't signed to any team.

He'd be the absolutely perfect safety next to Berry and would be a great signing for the Chiefs.

Some of you guys are spending way too much time on this.

and we will have 4.9M coming off of the cap as well, the draft class will count as around 200K additional against the cap when all is said and done because the bottom 8 players fall off of the "top 51"
