Bengals cap space: Projected cost of every selection in 2024 NFL draft

The 2024 NFL draft will be a costly affair for the Cincinnati Bengals.

In terms of cap space, the Bengals approach the NFL draft with roughly $24.4 million. A chunk of that, though, is quietly set aside to pay for a draft class. This time, at least as the event gets ready to start, the Bengals boast 10 selections.

Cincinnati’s rookie pool of cash projects to range in the $11.4 million area, per the estimates at Over The Cap.

Here’s a look at what each draft pick projects to cost the Bengals, keeping in mind that the actual cap space used will be less than the rookie pool number because of signing bonuses and the prospect eventually (likely) replacing another player currently on the roster taking up cap space.
