Potential Compensatory Picks:


Cam's New Arm

Recommended Posts

This is a fairly accurate projecton, I lost the link I got it from and in a hurry right now but I will post it later, But here they are:

3rd round- Houston (1)

4th round- Oakland (1), Baltimore (1), Green Bay (1), Detroit (1)

5th round- Atlants (1), Baltimore (1), San Fransico (1)

6th round- Baltimore* (2), Carolina (2), Houston (3), Oakland (3), Miami (1)

7th round- Arizona, Atlanta, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Green Bay, Jacksonville, Miami, Tennesse, Pittsburg all get 1 and Philly and KC both get 2

* Baltimore should have recived a 4th, 5th, 6th and 2 7th, but since a team can only recieve 4 picks, the NFL adds the 2 7ths and makes them 1 6th.

Heres the link with explanations

Two additional six rounders.. Not bad!

Who would they have been for?

Not bad at all. I'm surprised.

I'm not terribly surprised. I figured we'd get one for Connor. I'm a little surprised if one of them is for Wharton. Didn't he go to IR in the preseason? I dunno, but two extra 6ths will come in handy. A kicker and some OL depth with those two picks please :)

I think it is based strictly on the size of the contract. Wharton going to IR should not have any impact on it.

Edit: I may have spoken too soon. The salary/contract is the primary factor, but at least 1 site says playing time is also part of the formula.

Yeah, we'll have to figure this out. I'm unsure myself

Either way, you gotta admit, as much as we all hate ATL minus Grits and ATL1stPanthers2nd, McClain sure proved his worth this season. Its always cool for those late rounders that come out of their shell.

I'm on an iPad so I can't copy and paste the whole thing (or don't know how to if it is possible) but wiki says the formula is based on salary, playing time and postseason honors with salary being the primary factor.

    • The word I feel most comfortable using as a descriptor is "inconsistent". Haven't really seen anyone disagree with that. Consistency being one of the things I value most in a player, that makes me lean toward moving on. But he does still have both time and opportunity to prove otherwise. Mind you, having a streaky quarterback isn't exactly a new thing in Charlotte (you could argue it's been the norm). Delhomme was notorious for starting slow but finishing strong. He could sadly also find hos way into ruts that were difficult to crawl out of. Newton, on the other hand, was often known to start hot but fade late (the vast majority of the 2015 season followed that pattern) though it could be argued that was a team pattern as much as it was Cam's.  There are definitely some fans for whom this is always going to be a bridge too far. (or too short) Realistically, it's not impossible that he could still have a good career even with those issues. It's a damn sight more difficult, though. And arguably, less likely.
    • Oh, I did, and they weren't based in emotions either. Granted, characterizing them that way gives you an easy out to avoid responding to them. Similar tactic to dismissing the other guy's points with "nah, you didn't really watch the games" which saves you having to debate what he said. Strikes me as a kinda lazy way to go, but hey both elements are still back there if you feel up to trying later.
    • I see the issue, I am not counting his rookie season where he didn't actually play minus a few snaps of garbage time. So by your math that would be his 4th year.
