2006 Compensation pick for the Skins?

Can they give a first round compensation pick?

Tom... :doh:

If the Eagles can get thirty compensatory picks per draft, we should be awarded at least one for this offseason.

I never understood the compensatory pick thing, other than a way to help replenish teams that lost in FA. Is it arbitrary or do they have rules on determining the pick?

The highest pick that can be awarded is at the end of the 3rd round. And we will only get a compensatory pick if we don't sign a FA like Dyson to replace Smoot or someone like Hartwell to replace Pierce.

and we won't

Draft Experts, is this true could we end up getting a few extra mid round draft picks?? That would definatley help add some depth.

COMPENSATORY DRAFT PICKS: Compensation awarded by the league to teams who lost more UFAs than they signed. Compensation is in the form of extra draft picks added to the end of rounds three through seven. The quantity of picks is equivalent to the difference of UFAs signed to UFAs lost. For example, if a team loses 4 UFAs and signs 1 UFA, they will receive three Compensatory Selections. The value of the picks is determined by the difference of the contracts signed by the players lost and those acquired. The highest possible compensatory pick is the 31st of the third round (91st overall). If a team has signed an equal number or more UFAs than it lost, no "Compensatory Picks" are awarded

So far you lost Pierce and Smoot but signed Rabach and Patten. If you don't sign anyone else the Skins might get a 7th rd pick because the players you lost were paid more than the players you gained.

Doesn't matter... We will find some way to waste it getting burned in a trade.

Apparently, since we've signed Patten and Rabach, but lost Pierce and Smoot, the rules as written will prohibit us from getting a mid-round pick.

Provided Pat Dennis and Kozlowski don't sign elsewhere. If they do, I presume we may get an extra 6th or 7th rounder.

we signed Rabach and Patten, lost Pierce and Smoot, so that = 0

No one outside of the NFL has ever seen the formula but that blurb from the Red Zone is wrong in that teams have received a pick when a player lost is a much better player than the player gained.

I think this is everybody:

Gained

Ethan Albright

Cedric Killings

David Patten

Casey Rabach

Joe Salave'a

Mike Sellers

Lost

Fred Baxter

Ray Brown

Pat Dennis

Jason Doering

Kenyatta Jones

Brian Kozlowski

Antonio Pierce

Fred Smoot

EDIT: I should point out that not all the FAs are necessarily covered by the rule.

Cut players, and re-signed players don't count. Also any player that signs after a certain date (july or august I believe) doesn't count.

Gained

Casey Rabach

David Patten

lost

Fred Smoot

Antonio Pierce

Right now it's 2 to 2, so you guys may get a 7th or possibly a 6th b/c pierce and smoot signed for more.

isnt Ray Brown still gonna sign with us again thought?

Tom,

You were being sarcastic right?

Yes HeHateMe. I would have thought the people on here would have known that this would be a sarcastic post. I know the third round is where the comp picks start. I was trying to lighten the mood. :doh:

Yeah, we knew it was sarcastic. At least some of us did... it just de-evolved into a discussion around compensatory picks. :whoknows:

Bad timing is all. I think we were a little shell shocked.

I know Tom was joking. I mean get real when would any Giant fan be capable of making a serious point that the more evolved Skins and Eagles fans would be interested in???? There's a Cowboy fan named AdamJT13 who is also registed here who predicts the compensatory picks every year and is pretty good at it. So here's the link for the 05 draft predictions.

Yo man, if you want to ***** and moan about everything that is done then why don't you take yourself up 95 North and go root for them. Since everyone and their grandmothers seem to think they're doing everything right. I'm tired of the negativity by some fans. It gets old after a while. If you don't like what our team is doing there are 30 other teams to root for in the NFL. Go jump on their bandwagon.

more evolved Skins and Eagles fans would be interested in????[/Quote]

Ok, Skins fans I would put on the same level as Giant fans. But an evolved Eagle fan???? There is no such thing. I think cavemen were more evolved than Eagle fans.

I would love to sign Hartwell for losing pierce

An evolved eagle fan yells "Hey Yo, Duck!" before the battery hits you.:cool:
