Comp Picks update


t96

Recommended Posts

After these recent signings here's how it looks:

 

Gained: 

Poe

Sirles

Cockrell

Lost:

Norwell

Star

Dickson

 

So as of right now we could at best gain a 7th round comp pick, since we've gained and lost the same number of players. We need another one of our FAs to sign and count towards the comp pick formula in order to get our 3rd for Norwell back.

Players to fit that bill:

QB Derek Anderson

WR Charles Johnson

FS Jairus Byrd

OL Amini Silatolu

OLB Andrew Gachkar

TEScott Simonson

WR Brenton Bersin

OL David Yankey

WR Kaelin Clay

CB LaDarius Gunter

 

Of these players our best bets are Anderson, Silatolu, Gunter and Clay, but none of those are gimmes and we're at real risk of losing our expected 3rd for Norwell. We really just need DA to sign somewhere else and stick as the backup there for the year. The rest of the players are at risk of getting cut in TC or during the year and wind up not counting towards the formula at all.

Assuming we don't sign any more UFAs, we need one of those players to sign elsewhere and stay on a team for at least most of the year in order to get Norwell's 3rd round pick. We most likely won't get the Dickson pick back, which is well worth to it to add solid players just giving up a 6th/7th. Star's was cancelled out by Poe. If we do sign another UFA, we most likely get no comp picks next year or at best a 7th.

I really hope that isn’t the case. If OL depth costs us a 3rd then Hurney is an idiot and he cancels out the good feelings I have for him now. Cockrell was more than covered by Dickson. Ugh. I would be pissed if we just threw away Norwell’s 3rd. 

I don’t sweat the comp pick thing so bad. 

We’re talking about glorified early 4th round pick. No GM in panthers or NFL history for that matter has ever consistently made much use of a 4th round pick.

Sirles isn’t a UFA. He doesn’t count against the comp formula.

Um no.

 

Voth may be wrong. My understanding was always that untendered RFAs become UFAs. Voth may have, like Saca, thought Sirles was released. But he wasn’t.

    • I get what you are saying. I'm just saying we made it to the win, we should have a bit of class and not dogpile on the QB because his stat line wasn't great. His stat lines weren't great for almost his entire pro career, but this time, we got a win. Give him a breather.  The team cleared the bar. In the end, that's all that matters. Do it enough times and well, good things happen.  We've shat the bed enough times with good-ish QB play. It's not like we've been regularly to the playoffs even with our best performing QBs over the years. Heck, Matt Stafford was a helluva QB in Detroit for a long time with nothing to show for it. Steve Bartowski was a great QB back in the day, but in 20 years of watching I saw one playoff game for the Falcons. Heck, even Dan Marino spent most of his illustrious career on a lousy Dolphins team.  And yet, Tampa's first Superbowl ring was with the esteemed Trent Dilfer at the helm. Sometimes it goes like that. 
    • I don't care what they tell me. Its what they actually do that matters. Coaches and GM's say crap all the time to keep fan interest. They are always trying to sell you something. 
    • But you have to separate the 2 things in order to move forward.  Its okay to enjoy winning and its also okay to be critical of what is happening.  Coaches do it why cant we?   Also they have to be thinking next off season, next year all in real time.  They are applying what is working, where help is needed and how to get better and make plans for that.   I am weirdly confident that Dan and Dave are seeing what we are seeing and will adjust.   The wildcard however are the teppers
