It is amazing how focused we can get, and believe a narrative when all evidence points to McBeane maybe being aware of the comp pick formula, but certainly not making decisions based upon it.

OldTimer1960 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yes, please. I don’t are about picks at the end of the 4th(at best), 5th,6th,7th rounds in exchange for losing productive NFL players. Those late picks are mostly in consequential. None of the Bills’ current FA are going to fetch even a pick at the end of the 4th. Better off signing FAs this season.

QCity Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 How about instead of calling them comp picks, we call them what they really are - draft picks. Then maybe people will realize how stupid they sound when they say things like "Draft picks don't matter." That being said, the OP is likely correct about not getting any next year. We don't have many qualifying FAs leaving this year. Of course, setting up a system where we reap the benefits of addition picks every year takes time, it's not something that just materializes in a GM's first year. However, there have been moves made this offseason that indicate we will be a player at the table in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ihave been a draft fanatic for 3 decades, but IMHO, making decisions to not retain a good player solely on the basis of hoping to get a pick that at best will be around pick 100 is a poor strategy. Of course, you have to balance the FA value/cost against the hope for a mid late round compensatory pick, but the decision should not be based on the low-end “draft capital” that could be received.

MrEpsYtown Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Update: It's 5 in and 3 out. Still need Gaines, Thompson, Mathews, Leon Johnson to sign elsewhere to have a pick. Assuming we sign Compton or another linebacker, that would make it 6 in and 7 out. Still need O-Line upgrades and a reciever.

I didn’t think the Shareece Wright signing belonged here either, but after searching for awhile this was the first place I thought it was semi appropriate.
