What has to happen to get the compensatory pics? Seems like a few teams are getting a lot of them.

by shiner37 on Apr 26, 2009 3:53 PM CDT reply actions

Well

It is a formula involving the tender made to a Restricted Free Agent, the square root of the heat-of-the-beat, and the tangential motion of the ocean.

So you're saying that now I have to think of some witty Sig that will be applicable across all the SBN sites? Go Texan Horn Stros!

by Shake on Apr 26, 2009 3:55 PM CDT up reply actions

Super secret formula

But basically you have to lose a free agent and have them get signed at a high salary. Then you earn compensatory picks.

Leroy Hill franchise tag

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/26/atogwe-scaife-graham-would-be-wise-to-watch-their-teams-draft-picks/

Ha, Seattle drafted Curry and rescinded the franchise tag from Leroy Hill. Sucks for Hill.

Yeah

They rescinded the tag within hours of drafting Curry yesterday.

Is that the team doesn’t want to move DeMeco outside, and conventional wisdom is that Rey can’t play anywhere but MLB.

Bucs took a DB

Only team ahead of us that is likely to draft a RB is Buffalo.

Only other one I can think of - and it's a stretch - Packers

So Jennings will probably be there – but again, if we wanted him, he’d already be a Texan.

I mean, unless they just think the seventh is too good to pass up… and it’s a freaking NEED POSITION.

also

contract at 7 would be less then contract as FA…hed want more if he went undrafted prolly IMO

“if we wanted him, he’d already be a Texan.”

I don’t necessarily agree. If they knew he’d be there in the seventh, why not wait until then?

by socctty on Apr 26, 2009 4:57 PM CDT up reply actions

How could they have possibly known he'd be available in the seventh?

Maybe not specifically him

But a group of RBs that they’d be satisfied picking from.

The further you get from the first round, the harder it is to project where guys get drafted, but it’s not a stretch to think that the front office has a general idea of who is going where.

by socctty on Apr 26, 2009 4:59 PM CDT up reply actions

Yeah, like I said – they might not like him earlier, but love him in the seventh? I dunno.

The guy still on the board that is shocking me the most right now is Follett.

from Mclain

I’m still shocked they drafted tight ends in consecutive rounds rather than a running back. They wanted Shonn Greene and Glen Coffee, but they were taken. Remember, they want a back who excels in the one-cut system or a back they believe can learn the system.
