Yes. To give you an idea, last year Amerson was a 2nd rounder. He got $1.2M in up front signing bonus. On a 4 year deal, that amortizes to $300K per year worth of cap hit attributable to the bonus. Then the salaries are not too much different from the minimums for the level of service.
3rd rounders get less, obv. Reed was our 3rd rounder last year, he got a little more than $500K in up front bonus.
It's all slotted now based on when you're selected. You can expect numbers very similar to these again this year.
