Using the Cardinals as an example - they have $14.2mm draft pool.
Three of STL first four picks are college players, the picks slot value is about 11.9mm. Hypothetically if Liam Doyle (pick 1-5) signs for 7.5mm (slot value 8.1mm) and Tanner Franklin (pick CB-72) signs for $900k (slot value $1.2mm) that's about a $900k savings.
That $900k can be used to sign players to a deal greater than slot value. If the Cards took Horn in the 6th and knew they'd have that $900k in savings on earlier picks they could sign Horn to a deal worth $1.25mm ($325k slot + savings from earlier picks) and still be OK with regards to the draft value cap.
Starting in round 11 there is no assigned slot value to picks, teams just have to fit those signings in under their overall cap.
Also, teams can go over the recommended cap, up to 5% overspend is a 75% tax on the overage. Again, using the Cardinals as an example, the could go as high at $14.9mm with their signings and would pay a penalty of $525k for doing so. On average 60% of the league goes over the slot value, but no team has ever exceeded their cap by more than 5%.
