Below are the actual 2011 rookie pool values -- in other words, those players' 2011 cap numbers -- for each of the 2011 draft picks. When available, the 2011 rookie pool allocation number -- the number used by the NFL to set the team-by-team and league-wide limits -- has been included in parentheses. As this shows, many of the 2011 draft picks' rookie pool numbers exactly matched the allocation figure for their respective picks after the allocation numbers were revealed to the teams and agents for the first time. To project a team's 2012 Rookie Pool, these figures can be used for each of the team's draft picks, and $25,000 can be added for undrafted rookies' signing bonus prorations.
