PetermansRedemption Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I’ll go to my grave saying this. But it is beyond idiotic that the NFL even has comp picks. There are no “small market” NFL teams to protect. Every NFL team has the ability to spend to the cap. Why would you reward them for choosing not to re-sign their own? It’s always a choice. It’s such an extreme case where money doesn’t talk in the NFL, where money doesn’t reign supreme. So in 99% of cases, the team chooses not to re-sign the player. Why should they be rewarded for making that choice. If the NFL insists on comp picks the absolute highest they should award is a 5th rounder. 5-7 rounds are insignificant enough where it’s ok. 19 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiller ?♂️ I suppose it was a different time of football, but I’m sure glad no one is dumb enough to pick a RB that high anymore. Unless it’s a true generational talent. The Bills used to love doing two hallmarks of losing franchises, drafting cornerbacks and running backs high. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now if you sign 5 players who weren't cut from other teams to 5 contracts worth 1 million dollars each and you lose 5 players who each sign for a contract of 10 million or more you don't get a comp pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I like the no more comp pick idea. Or just put them at the end of the 7th. It’s basically lime first crack at UDFA then.

What I really don’t like is how it dries up the trade market for anything less than a 3rd rounder. As it stands, teams are rewarded for letting a player walk instead of trading them to a different team for a 4th or higher. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many bad decisions made and players passed on that draft day in 2010. Hindsight is hindsight, but taking Spiller when we had Jackson and Lynch was mind-bogglingly stupid. Taking an RB in the top ten when we had two RB1s already was far more ridiculous and inexcusable than draft busts or missing out on stars (which is just the way the draft goes, for the most part). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk71 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I agree with the comp picks are ridiculous posters. If they exist at all they should be at the end of the draft. A 3rd rnd pick just because someone else got your player in fa is stupid imo. Every team has to spend close to the cap so it makes no sense that it is supposed to help small market teams. It definitely hasn't helped Buffalo much over the years. It seems to me it has helped already good teams a lot more than the weak teams. It needs to be changed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
