Rigotz Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Teams receiving third round comp picks this year: Patriots: 12-4 and playoffs (x2) Texans: 10-6 and playoffs Steelers: 8-8 and almost playoffs Giants: 4-12 Seahawks: 11-5 and playoffs Eagles: 9-7 and playoffs Rams: 9-7 and almost playoffs Vikings: 10-6 and playoffs Ravens: 14-2 and playoffs So almost every pick went to a playoff team from the previous year. This is such a disgrace. Edited March 10, 2020 by Rigotz 3
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 And that doesn’t include the double secret picks New England is awarded, and the ‘special dispensation’ cards Belichick hands to the referee crew before games. ? 2

whatdrought Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 They really need to do away with these things. It's incentivizing not keeping your home-grown talent to be able to trade them for a free pick. Especially in todays NFL where every player gets overpaid. 2 1
Just Joshin' Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Eliminate the comp picks and add one more round to the draft. Being rewarded for letting players go without trying to retain them sends the wrong message. 3 2
Aussie Joe Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Dont know why people want to change this now.. The Bills will more than likely be benefiting from Comp Picks come 2022 Draft... 2
BidsJr Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I am not sure why this is so hard to understand. 1. You draft well and build a winner. 2. Because you are winning your players are better and therefore more costly to keep. 3. Because they are more expensive you push closer to the cap because you can't keep all of them. 4. In order to make it fair for teams that draft well and win, but are subject to the cap to create parity you have #5. 5. Rewarded comp picks to off set the fact that you have a salary cap and cannot keep all of your homegrown talent. 5 1

You cant get higher than a 3rd... it really isnt that huge of a difference. Just dont pick a bad #1 pick. No high Bills pick has really stuck with this team from the first round and we never get compensated for it... shame on the past Gms that picked ***** for us.

Hardhatharry Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) It is supposed to reward rebuilding teams but a lot of teams are so good or have a great QB that they can let other talent walk and get paid big bucks. Edited March 10, 2020 by Hardhatharry

This is such a disgrace. Expand Makes sense because playoff teams have strong rosters and can allow talent to walk without having to bring in a bunch of free agents. Although I am personally of the belief that comp picks shouldn't even be a thing. I don't think teams should be rewarded for allowing talent to walk.

Roger Goodell Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Due to an oversight by the league office, New England was not granted a 4th round compensatory pick. That pick has now been awarded. To compensate the Patriots for their pain and suffering, the league has also granted New England a 5th round compensatory pick.
