Yes, you're absolutely right, but you're not factoring top-51 net cap effect.
Every player you sign above that 51st threshold replaces an existing contract in the top-51. This is why a site like OTC tells you to factor in -$465,000 for every draft pick. That yields a far lower net cap effect.
Here's the Chiefs estimated draft class "cost:"
1 $1,826,279
2 $783,638
3 $653,210
3c $640,421
4 $606,308
5 $526,188
5c $515,115
6c $492,275
6c $492,275
7 $481,848
Tot $7,017,557
Now, here's the bottom 10 contracts of the top-51
DJ Alexander $665,563
Seantavius Jones $615,000
Rakeem Nunez-Roches $615,000
Ramik Wilson $615,000
Khaseem Greene $615,000
Montori Hughes $615,000
D.J. White $588,253
Tyreek Hill $586,260
Dadi Nicolas $579,803
Isaiah Battle $570,000
So, now you pick the top 10 of those 20 salaries, and they will count against the cap. That will be these:
1 $1,826,279
2 $783,638
3 $653,210
3c $640,421
DJ Alexander $665,563
Seantavius Jones $615,000
Rakeem Nunez-Roches $615,000
Ramik Wilson $615,000
Khaseem Greene $615,000
Montori Hughes $615,000
The total of these:
1 $1,826,279
2 $783,638
3 $653,210
3c $640,421
less the total of these:
D.J. White $588,253
Tyreek Hill $586,260
Dadi Nicolas $579,803
Isaiah Battle $570,000
is going to be your net cap effect.
That is $3,903,548 - $2,324,316 = $1,579,232
So, I actually overestimated it by saying 2.5 m.
Draft will affect the cap by approximately $1.6 m.
