comp picks?

[ThPantherFan]

Doesn't matter we have 53 HOF'ers.

Deal with it bro.

 

What?  Now that doesn't make a lick of sense.

No matter what Carolina is getting a few comp picks, probably in the 5th-7th range.  The highest comp pick I think they've ever had was Sione Fua in the 3rd round so let's just hope it goes better than that.

By the way. Just talking about trades. I kind of scoffed when we gave away our Jon Beason 7th to snag Bene. Looking back, I'm glad we did.

 

 

After swapping fifth-round picks and trading their seventh-round choice to the Minnesota Vikings, the Panthers drafted San Jose State cornerback Bene' Benwikere in the fifth round with the 148th pick.

"We addressed our corner situation," said Gettleman, who believed the value that Benwikere presented made the trade worthwhile. "We discussed it at length and realized it was a great move. In fact, I got a text from a GM after we did it that said he thought it was a great move.

"He's got excellent ball skills, and he's very smart, which is important back there. You don't want people back there dropping coverages, plain and simple. We really like what Bene' brings. He's going to have an opportunity to compete at the nickel spot right off the bat."

 

The guy sounds like Nostradamus talking about a 5th round pick.

 

 

Edit: I'll add in he made this pick from his laptop at his kids Graduation!

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.

 

So the NFL gives them to who they would like to have them.  I know there is some kind of rational to the madness but it's something too hard for my miniscule mind to understand.  Thanks for explaining though.  I bet if you checked you'd find New England gets its fair share of compensatory picks.

We will definitely get comp picks for lafell and Mitchell. Prolly munnerlyn as well. We didn't gain nearly what we lost in terms of production or contracts.

[MHS831]

Capt - 11 Million

Lafell - 9 million

Mitchell - 25 million

Ginn 3 Million

 

Us...$2 dollars

 

Are these correct?   I thought Ginn signed a $10m, 3 year deal, similar to Lafell's.

good catch. It is 3 million guaranteed. My bad

[MHS831]

Interesting point though--do they look at the overall contract, the guaranteed $$, the first-year of the contract, etc.  I never thought much about it.

So, is it so cut and dried that you can take the top 32 FA contracts given 10 months ago and predict the outcome?

 

If so, where does Ginn and the rest rank?

I see us getting at least 2 picks from rounds 5-7........

I think the Panthers might even end up with a comp 3rd when all is said and done. the formula, as far as i know, is not made public, but it is based on salary given to players lost vs FA signings, and Carolina definitely had it tilted far to the lost side this season. wouldn't be surprised if it was a 3rd + another, based on anecdotal evidence of past seasons.

Easier to get the country's nuclear codes than the formula used for comp picks. Even the NFL teams have no clue until a couple weeks before the draft.

The 3rd round comp pick we got was for Peppers and his $90 million contract.  I don't think we will get a 3rd for anyone we lost.  But Mitchell signed for $25 million so a 4th would not be out of the question.  Harper and Decoud were both cut from their teams so they don't count for us.
