No comp picks

WillSaints81 · 03-12-2016, 10:46 PM

No one brought this up. But saints got no comp picks again. Good thing is neither did the rest of the division.

I think it wasn't brought up because it's completely expected. The title to your post could have just as well been "no surprise" and I think we'd all know what it was about already. The Browns are the only team to have been given less comp picks than us, sad..

Saints haven't mastered the Patriots way yet . Until then, expect no comp picks!

comp picks are not arbitrary- there is a formula
our problem is twofold: we cut our high-priced guys, which negates compensation, and we always sign high end players, Byrd, Browner, etc, that cancel out our actual lost players (which we rarely have)

We should probably get some next year, because it appears we're gonna lose more free-agents than we sign.

True: Bush + Robinson + Watson > Fleener

and no, sports fans, we don't get anything if Evans, Hawthorne, Browner, or Colston sign elsewhere

Those compensatory picks can come as high as the fourth round iirc. There is still some good value to be had there. It's funny that NE and other top contenders always receive numerous compensatory picks. That is how you manage the cap!

Edit: Loomis has a plan and it's effective. But it's more costly than the NE plan. I still believe Loomis is the man. He just makes the numbers work while Sean Payton calls the shots.

Actually, third round compensatory picks are awarded...

Baltimore has rec'd more compensatory picks than any other team - and it's not even close...

Ozzie Newsome was one of the first NFL executives to go through the league internship and likely received instruction on how to best achieve those picks...

Personally, I believe it's part Newsome and part NFL League Office favoritism toward Baltimore - and lately, after the Ray Rice elevator beat-down cover-up, it's certainly seems more of the later...

And no one really calls the league on this apparent bullshinski...

Don't believe teams should be rewarded or compensated for letting their veterans go...

As I said earlier, the draft has become such a big event unto itself, make the draft ten (10 ) rounds and eliminate compensatory picks...

...and let the best talent personnel evaluators win...
