Comp pick in 7th

jnormand · 03-21-2015, 10:58 AM

I tried to make sense of that article. It didn't. I don't understand comp picks. Never really have. I mean New England gets a 3rd rounder???? That's bs. They're still a good team. They don't need compensation for not resigning a player. What happens next year? They get a free first rounder because they lost Revis?

There is no easy way to figure out comp picks.
Here's the most basic way to look at it:
We signed Byrd and Lorig
we lost DLP, Jenkins and Brown.
net-net on salaries + we lost one more than we gained, so we get one pick at the lowest tier. As Brown is the lowest of the lowest, we get the last 7th round pick.
trades and cuts don't figure in
