comp picks?


Captain Morgan

Good poo. If we are able to get an extra 5th or 6th or both, that would put us in great position to trade up. I know it's not Gettleman's style, but trading our 2nd plus a comp pick in the 5th to move up to the top of the 2nd seems like a good deal to me. Probably wouldn't have room on the 53 for 9 draft picks as is, let alone with UDFAs thown into the mix.

now that the season is over, did Mitchell, LaFell and any others perform

well enough to get us some comp pics, maybe a 5th rounder?

 

pretty sure we get nothing for Smitty because we cut him instead of losing him

in free agency.

 

also, when does the league announce the comps?  I'll hang up and take my answer on the air.

 

Umm... OUR season ends February 1st...

Good to know. So maybe we trade our actual 5th and 2nd to move to the top of the 2nd. Or our 6th and 3rd to move to the top of the 3rd. I'm just sure there'll be some teams like Buffalo looking to trade down for more picks. If we're sitting on 9 or 10 total picks through 7 rounds, that might be a good deal for us.

A fifth won't be nearly enough to move up to the top of the second.  We win Saturday, and we're already picking at

25.  A fifth and our 3rd may get up towards the top of the third though.

 

Also, Getty has said he values draft picks, but he did trade up for Boston, didn't he?  Maybe it was Bene,

but an additional 5th for Getty makes me happy as a puppy with 2 peckers.

Never really understood compensatory picks.  Still don't.  So, we may get some picks or we may not, is what I got out of that.

 

What you have to understand is the NFL gives out 32 of them every year. That is he only number set in stone. Everything else changes year by year. It's hard to predict because player movement is so complex. There is no blueprint.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
