2014-2015 Compensatory Picks Thread

[Chinook]

Supposed to be announced this afternoon. We can use this thread to keep track of them.

I think the Ravens are looking at two fourths, a fifth and a seventh, but they may get as high as a third, two fourths and a fifth or as low as a fourth, two fifths and a seventh, depending on the nature of the comp formula.

i hope the jags get something but chances are slim

Why? How did free agency play out for them last season?

the best FA we lost was derek cox and knighton but he was on a cheap deal and we signed a bunch of nobodies with cheap deals also so everything should cancel out

Yeah, probably can't expect more than one of those extra sevenths they throw in to get the pick count up to 256. At least the Jags have the Ravens' fourth- and fifth-rounders.

I love the comp picks! I wish the NFL would move all the comp picks up one round. poorly run teams have to release players and sign players, well run teams build though the draft and let overpriced players walk and get comp picks...

The Ravens got 99, 134, 138 and 175. Tremendous.

Here's the link to the full allotment announcement.

oakland got nothing but it was predictable. being nearly 70 mil under the cap, they pretty much had to go after UFA's

The picks were awarded based on last year's free agency. You're right they won't get any next year, though.

ah, forgot about that. don't think we lost anybody notable last year anyway except for michael huff and dhb, and we picked up spare parts which basically negated them anyway

Released players don't count either way, which is why I was annoyed at Oakland signing UFAs like Tuck and Smith instead of cut players like Peppers. The Raiders threw away the two fourth-round picks they were going to get from losing Veldheer and Houston.

i doubt they would have been able to spend 60+ mil on just released players tbh

Houston got a 4th, a 6th and the Mr. Irrelevant pick. They now have 11 total picks.
