This may be a dumb question, but does that cap of $6,611,900 only apply to players in the top ten rounds? Or do they have to use money from that pot to pay players in rounds 11+? If that is their total cap for all players in this years draft, what other players can we expect to cut into that budget from rounds 11+?

The pool is the total of their top 10 round pick values added up but any amount paid to someone round 11 or later over $125k is counted towards the pool. So you can't sign your 38th rounder for 1.5 mill anymore unless you have a high first round pick and sign that guy way under his slot value.

Any top 10 round guy doesn't sign, their pick value is lost. That's why when the Astros wouldn't sign Aiken when his elbow was hurt that Mac guy signing with lsu lost his deal because he was being paid out of savings from aiken's slot.
