Rookie Pool

To make it explicit, last year without a 1st or 2nd, our rookie pool was $2.271 million. That meant, to sign all our draft picks, we had to be at least 2.2 million under the cap.

With a 1st rounder this year it'll be much larger, but by "much larger" I mean like $4 million total or something.

So it's not enough for us to simply get below the cap, though I believe by the March 12th deadline (I think it's March 12th?) we only have to get right at it. But in the end, we'll need to be at least 4 or 5 million below just to sign our draft picks.
