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.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
