A look at 2017 Compensatory Picks (Updated 5/19)

*Updated 

 

As we enter FA, I always find the compensatory pick strategy interesting.  I know the Panthers front office takes this into account when signing and releasing players. 

 

Current Panther CFAs and their status.

Josh Norman (Signed by Washington) Value rd3 

Jericho Cotchery

Roman Harper

Amini Silatolu

Charles Tillman

Frank Alexander

Brad Nortman (signed by Jacksonville) Value rd7

Tyronne Green

Fernando Velasco (Non-qualifying UFA)

Cortland Finnegan.

I'm not thinking we're going to have much shot at comp picks next year.

Cotchery & Harper I assume are both gone, but I'm not positive they'll be signed by anyone else.  Same with Tillman.  If he's not with us, doubt he'll be with anyone.  Same with Finnegan.

Frank Alexander won't be signed by anyone given that he's suspended through late November.

Green - I know nothing about how he's recovered from injury.  Assume he'll be let go.  Don't know if he's done or not.

Tolbert, Silatolu, Velasco, Nortman - I'm thinking we're quite likely to resign all of them.  If any of these go, these would be the most likely to get us comp picks.

Webb, Love - I consider LOCKS for us to resign.  If for any reason we can't reach a deal, then yes, they would be signed and could help us get comp picks.

Utilizing the draft or the free agency period to stock the team has been a weak point for the Panthers. They actively do not maintain the roster necessary to farm compensatory picks.

I doubt the Panthers will see a compensatory pick for several of the upcoming drafts. The Panthers do not farm enough players in the draft and they have a difficult time signing key free agents of value to compete for the comp picks.

When a team has to sign players off the street, trade for vets ready to retire, trade for young projects mid season, and scrape up less than effective practice squad players to fill key spots on the depth chart in an effort to stay competitive for the playoffs, then that team has an ineffective system in the off season.

The Panthers have more roster turnover during the season than any other NFL team over the past 3 season (the last 2 have been really bad).

Thankfully, the Panthers have some of the best players in the NFL at their given positions to carry the team and make up for the inadequacies of the Panthers depth.

Wow. That is some quality bs right there. I know some farmers who would pay good money for that much fertilizer. 

You really wear your disdain for Gettleman right out on your sleeve don't you? Did he beat you up as a child?

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
