The udfa won't, but the draft class as a whole is factored into the cap figure as I understand.

I just looked for the thread and I can't find it. Maybe it was a twitter post by Holder or something.

However, I have been known to be wrong a time or 10.

The top 51 rule is still in effect(never heard about the first round thing before) so they'll only cost what they go over of the guys they bump out of the top 51.

Just a for instance, if the first round pick has a cap hit of $1.5 mil and the 51st player has a cap hit of $500,000, the first rounder will replace him and add $1 mil to the cap.

The 3rd and on rounders won't add much of anything to the cap. We may actually have just enough to sign our 5 current picks(maybe a couple of hundred thousand to spare).

This is not to say we won't see a cut or two after June 1st and once they see how the young guys are doing. Strief is definitely one that could be on the chopping block with several cheaper options.
