Aren't the comp pick methods a secret? Don't confuse me with facts because I know that Roger Godhell has it out for the New Orleans Saints. If Davenport performed better, he would have been worth a higher comp pick maybe. But .5 sacks last year didn't help.

Nope. Not a secret at all. And Goodell has no input into the compensatory picks. Once again, what the player did prior to the acquisition by the new team doesn't matter. What drives the pick level is average annual salary of the new contract, percentage of snaps played with new team, and post season awards with new team in the first year.

If Davenport would have had 15 sacks in 2022 it wouldn't have changed anything unless the Vikings contract was much higher than it was. Hell, if he had 15 sacks he wouldn't be going anywhere. The pick levels we are seeing now are nothing more than educated guesses BASED on past history. The final pick levels won't be known until well after the 2023 season.
