For draft picks I think we can estimate about 3.5 million. I can't find the official numbers for this year(maybe they aren't out) but last year at 21 the Giants had $3.87 to spend on 8 players while the Saints had $3.371 on 7 players at 20. Accounting for cap inflation and needing money for only 6 then 3.5 has to be tops.

Nice. Thanks for those numbers.
