1st, you have to have a net loss of free agents from the year before. This year's comp picks are from 2008. So, you can't cut many people (i.e., you can't replace them because you replace them with FAs, but the people you cut aren't people you "lose"). Also, RFAs, franchise/transition tag players don't count.

Then, compensatory picks are given out based on the value of the contract and based on the production of the player. There's no rhyme or reason for it. There's never been more than a 3rd given at a time, but some teams receive multiple picks for various situations.

I believe the performances of the FAs lost vs the ones picked up also play a role in this. But yeah, it's some formula we mere mortals never get to see.

It is a complex solution based on several factors. But the first factor is that you can not sign more free agents than you lost. Even if you lost 2 big time players and only signed 4 scrubs, you still get no picks in the next draft. We signed a ton of free agents last year: Vincent, Gibson, Hackett, Johnson, Wesley, Walker and perhaps Mark Jones counts also although he might not since he was signed so late. Therefore I doubt we lost more than that who wound up being signed by other teams.

So I doubt we get picks in this draft.

The highest I have seen picks awarded for players being lost is a third round pick BUT if we lose Peppers or Gross and some other free agents totaling say...4 that are re-signed by other teams, and we sign 5 free agents, we probably miss out on compensatory picks next year even if all 5 of our new guys turn out to be scrubs. It just works that way.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.

      It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
