That does bring up a good point on the cap money. Signing that many picks will be costly and if they blew the bank on some huge names early in FA it may close the door on the potential trade up or even the ability to sign our 2 firsts by staying put.
I have said a few times, the value players come at the June cuts because players are fored with the option of taking less money or not playing. Not too many players can set the price that late in the offseason. Teams will only add players that will be great value at that point because ideally you\'d like your roster in ink by that time. Still it\'s a great time to add that immediate impact veteran for less than normal market value.
