Also, is it normal to cut your draft picks before even the first season starts? I don't remember it happening in years past, but that might be because we don't normally have 12 draft picks.

Yeah that's pretty much SOP as far as late round rookies go. It all depends on how they play in games and in practice though. The ones that end up on the PS are the ones that have talent but are still raw and need the extra seasoning before they can perform on the field. As far as early round draft picks go only rarely will you see a team cut a guy that was a 3rd round pick or higher before their first season starts.
