Projected Compensatory Picks (None for us yet again)

Projecting the Compensatory Draft Picks for 2015 - Over the Cap

This is something else our FO sucks at. We never get these extra picks. Never.

How do we get these?

vpheughan · 01-21-2015, 08:14 PM

For what? Cutting players?

Somebody might have better/more info. I found this which defines it I suppose. I wasn't aware of most of it:

Comp picks are granted to teams that lose more than they gain. So, the fact that our FO doesn't suck at replacing players should be a positive. Comp picks are the booby prize.
Would you rather have Golden Tate or a 4th round pick? Branden Albert or a 3rd?
Or this year- Colston, or a 5th or 6th in 2016?

Don't get lost in the trees.

7 of the top 10 positions are held by teams in the playoffs...so they must be doing somethign right to keep the roster stocked with players that make the playoffs/superbowl but yet have more draft picks tossed to them.

Not lost at all. I'd just rather follow the mantra of lose a player, sign a player. I'd rather have a vet playing for an entire year instead of a draft pick a year later. And, at best, that draft pick is #97 overall, and that's if you lose a $8 million a year player.
Back to my original question- would you rather have Colston playing for us in 2015, or a 5th round pick in 2016?
