How much of my budget should I save for the draft?

I just had to scrap my first effort because I spent all my money, not thinking about signing players in the draft. Oops. How much money do you set aside?

Myself I go with a fairly simple theory.
If I have high draft picks I like to have around 10 million.
If I have lower draft picks I like to have around 6 or 7 million.
Also, you have to put into the equation by the 3rd round guys get real cheap and a lot of your picks might not be much more than role players if they make your big league roster. So, if I run low on signing money...I generally will let them walk if they turn down my initial offer.
