[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 864825"] There's a thread dedicated to the topic, not that it matters. Anyway, a few notes: [LIST] [*]While the draft class cost should be around that $7.5 mil 2020 cap number, that's not the deduction at this juncture. The Packers now have 53 players currently under contract according to both overthecap and spotrac. If one were to assume all 10 draftees make the roster, then 10 players currently counting against the 53 man cap get bumped out of the cap count. The differerence between a 3rd. rounder and the rookie minimum is neglible. For instance, Sternberger's rookie cap cost was $630,000 vs the 53rd. guy on the current totem pole at $510,000. So even if anybody from the 3rd. round down doesn't make the team the end result is nearly the same. The working number for draftee deductions should be something around $2.0 - $2.5 mil for the cost of the first 2 picks over and above the minimum salary guys they bump. You could fine tune that by looking at the cap costs for the guys last year in those slots and add something like 6% for the cap bump. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Overthecap ($24 mil) and spotrac ($22 mil) have meaningfully lower starting points than ESPN. Salary data is proprietary.
