gonzo1105 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 By the looks of the gained vs lost, the Bills could have received 3. Must have ran out before getting to that point. Charles Clay and Alex Carrington didn't count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog69 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Lost:  M. Williams Bradham McKelvin Brooks  Signed  None  Since M. Williams and McKelvin were released do they count in the formula or just the UFA's lost?   I've never had a thread pinned...I'm crossing my fingers....   The compensatory picks we were awarded today were based on FA signings/losses from 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Wonder if the extra 4th means Bills cut Carpenter. Makes it easier to pull the trigger on Aguayo.  Just test Aguayo in bad weather , if ok , 4th it is  Gay could be gone also, cap and roster space Edited March 11, 2016 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Billieve Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I would be convinced all these free picks were a dream if I didn't see how many picks the pats* got.

gonzo1105 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 We have a net loss of 2 to zero. I'd expect two low round comp picks next year pending we don't actually sign a free agent, which I wouldn't suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 So, it appears... Â The path to success = draft well which means you rarely sign FAs because you drafted well --AND-- you get extra draft picks because you only lose players (not gain) in FA. Â Invest more in scouts!

GunnerBill Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I think all teams have this I take your point but actually at the start of last year we didn't. The back ebd of our roster guys were largely vets. Â My point and it is not a critical one of the Bills is because they have drafted better in recent years and have started paying stars they are necessarilly going to lose more mid-range vets and need tk re-stock depth through the draft. Doing that with 6 picks is hard. I like having 8 and I hope that we might still be able to pick another up sliding down a few spots in the first or 2nd because round 2 through 4 there is good depth in this draft for me.

Marty McFly Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Damn!!! This guy can kick. He can also do kickoffs. That would free up a roster spot.

SWATeam Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'm surprised the pats* didn't recieve a 1st round comp pick for losing their first round pick.

KOKBILLS Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Woohoooooo  The @buffalobills have been allocated the following compensatory draft selections:  Round 4 - (139 overall)  Round 6 - (218 overall)   Well now...That's pretty timely...We could use a few more this year to be honest...Cheap labor...

Art in PNS Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) I was counting Hogan in the mix, but I see now that he won't count. I think he does count for compensatory picks, we just don't receive immediate draft compensation for him because he was undrafted. He is in the net loss of free agents column so far this year Nigel which will add a decent comp pick , Brooks , Stephan Charles and Hogan should all count toward a total loss and therefore if they play at least another lower round pick Edited March 12, 2016 by Art in RTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only players who get counted in the formula are Unreleased Unrestricted Free Agents. The Bills had a choice to keep him and choose not to. It's the exact same reason that Charles Clay didn't count this year because the Dolphins had a choice.  The only people that count so far are Bradham and Brooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 These Pats comments are silly. There is an objective formula for comp pics so between Revis, Browner, and not sure who else, they received 4 picks. Not like I'm a fan of the Pats, but the conspiracy theory comments are foolish.

YoloinOhio Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) I think that extra 4th is going to turn into our new kicker or new development QB. We have a lot of holes to fill- those two positions aren't necessarily holes at this time but they are areas we want to upgrade, and I would place a 4th round value on the stud kicker or development QB. This allows them to fill holes in rounds 1-4 that can hopefully step in and contribute at DE, LB, WR, NT and then the 3 picks in rounds 5-6 you get your depth.
