2014 Official Draft Thread

I think we should do away with compensatory picks altogether. And if they're going to keep them, then they need transparency. None of this "mysterious formula that not even those in the know know" bullshit. Teams should only have 7 picks, plus or minus any traded picks.

Vasquez and Phillips leave to start in a Super Bowl, and our singeing by Cox somehow evens shit out?

Fixed it for ya.

But they lost Graham THIS off-season, so that won't count until NEXT off-season when they tally up the gains/losses - by some magic formula - and divvy out comp picks for the 2015 Draft.

Yep. Its all about contracts when it comes to comp picks, along with how many FAs you lose and sign. We didn't sign less than we lost for one thing which is the big key. Vasquez got 23 million while Cox got 20 million. Phillips only signed for 1 million. We gave more than that to Rinehart. It doesn't matter if their team made it to the SB.

Lissimore is the man untill a better oppertunity comes along. Not sure they want to have to pay the price to develope a premium player at a position they have no intention of keeping should that player truely develope. In other words they want to play less for a NT four years from now when they hope to have Luigit and Reyes on their second contracts with the team.

Lissemore is the man pushed by Geathers in TC. Not sure why some people think/expect a rookie DT with no NFL experience automatically becomes the starter without earning it.

If the FA loss thing has to be really lopsided, then you MIGHT get a 3rd round pick.

IMHO, you don't play games in terms of trying to get comp picks. You sign or let walk who you do to fit the salary cap space, and if you get an extra pick, great. If not, it really isn't going to help your losses. They are lower round picks to begin with, and you don't get that many per year. They would be more valuable if you can package them as part of a trade, but that isn't allowed, which minimizes the impact of them.

BTW, in watching Dee Ford he reminds me a LOT of Shaun Phillips when he first came out.
