Compensatory picks and the long game

[ncfan]

Ravens are not the only ones.

For the Gettleman haters who think throwing money in FA is better than building through the draft and using that money on locking up your own player

Please tell me you aren't serious?

Did you watch him in the playoffs when they won their last super Bowl? He Was dominating

He was solid, but the best postseason by a QB ever? No, just no

For all of the amateur GMs out there, any FA signed after June 1 is not included in the compensatory pick calculation regardless of rather they were released or their contract was up. If Hardy is not signed by this time, we will get NO compensation for him. Any FAs we signed last year after June 1 will not be held against us in this years calculation. There are ALWAYS 32 picks given out each year, so in effect, the draft is really eight rounds instead of seven.

11 TD 0 INT in 4 games. If that is your definition of solid who had a great postseason as a qb then?

Again, back to my comparison to Russell Wilson. Wilson doesn't throw picks either (outside of the last 2 games this postseason.) Stats are tor people who don't watch games.

Don't bother. This guy is obviously brain dead

compensatory picks =bottom of the barrel scrubs.. who cares

U trollin?

With a GM who can find late round gems, comp picks mean everything. Especially if it's a 5th rounder.

Flacco beat Luck, Manning, and Brady all in row then went on to win Super Bowl MVP. Yes it very much was one of the best QB post season runs in history.

Because teams would exploit it...

So.

[Fox007]

So.

 

So they don't release it...

With 25% of the teams getting 90% of the comp picks every yr (the same teams) it seems like they do have it figured out (the formula that is). So why doesn't everyone do it? I think it's mainly because the teams that do get the picks are stable and are able to worry about the "bonus" comp picks by gaming the system every yr and are not in a fix it now or you're fired mode.

 

That's not to say that everyone else is scrambling and these teams are calmly playing it cool and able to think of the long game but that their team stability and job stability is relatively secure and they can afford to factor comp picks somewhat into their decision making. Drafting well is a requirement though.

 

The good news I see is that it seems like we are making progress towards becoming one of those teams. Maybe not so much this year and maybe not next. But soon. And for the rest of our lives. (if anyone under 30 gets that reference you can have a naked photo of SCP)
