Big news about the NFL Draft

[Mr. Scot]

Adam Schefter is reporting that as of next year, the league will allow the trading of compensatory picks.

That's a big shift from previous years.

Getting a bevy of comp picks just became a priority for a lot of teams.  Good move, and one that could drastically change not only the draft, but free agency as well. 

[Mr. Scot]

Unfortunately, all signs point to us not getting a comp pick for Hardy.

We don't know that.

I'm sure that even if we should get a pick for it the NFL will shaft us one last time for that guy and since the formula is "secret" will get to deny deny deny

Not for certain, but to quote the Magic 8 Ball, "signs point to no" (at least as of last reporting).

Why?  He meets the criteria. Isn't it based on snap counts?

Well whenever I use my magic 8 ball and trust it it's always the opposite of what I should do so I'm going to say that we'll be getting that damn comp pick. Hell even if we don't fit the formula DG can go to Goodell mafia style and force him to bend the rules since we got fuged over by him last year taking $13.5M of our cap space away. Goodell will come home one day to the horse head.

I think it's based on a combination of quantum physics and the Zodiac.

The last time Voth talked about it, he was pretty iffy on the idea. It's possible things may have changed since then but no one's really discussed it for a long time.

[Montsta]

I'm sure the players union will oppose this. They'll say it incentivizes the cutting of player x so that team y can get comp picks to be trade or some such nonsense. 

[TheNewStandard]

Great, the Pats will now have 5-first rounders every year.

I'm not expecting it.

If it happens, I'll be happily surprised.

According to this article, it's based on salary and how many games the player is on the gameday roster.  Hardy could still net us a third round pick, barring he gets any additional suspensions or commits any more general acts of retard.

My worry there is it's David Newton.

Like I said, I'm just not expecting it, but I'll be thrilled if it does happen.
