Twitter: Comp picks announced

[john van brocklin]

Yeah...some nice ammo just in case we see a guy we want I suppose.


Damn that's a good point. Traded him for what a 6th? Flipped it for a 4th rounder? Nice come up.

Yep, Correctamundo.

Now target that DT from NO who is owed 5M on his contract and do it again.

Sorry, cant remember his name, LOL

Dalton was pretty good for us. Got very little offseason work with the team, then was thrown in midseason. By the end of the season, had 3 very strong games, then was sacked 6 times in the season finale. Leonard Williams had 3 sacks and 5 more QB hits. (Who was he beating so badly?) Tough row to hoe for Dalton.

Philadon doesn’t see it.
I hate to tell the guy but Dak didn’t do any better when he played.

 

[ChuckA1]

You trading up on those picks or you standing pat?

I'm moving up for the best players of need, based on FA. I'm sure I'll be lectured on BPA not player of need, but I'm taking at least a DT, FS, LB, OT and CB, minimum. To get several potential starters will be wonderful.

 

[Rockport]

Maybe they can go cheer for another team. Unfortunately they will be cheering against our team because they would rather be right than win.

They will. They’ll be cheering for Dak to fail for sure. They won’t admit it because they don’t have the intestinal fortitude, but they’ll be hoping for failure. Every pass.

I legit cannot remember the last time Dallas had a 3rd round comp pick.

I know a lot of Dallas writers justified letting Byron walk by predicting the 3rd round comp. Looking at Byron's contract (16 cap hit this year), I think I'm fine with the result.

 

[Rockport]

too bad you know about as much about football as you do everything else- NOTHING!

Well I know you’re a quitter. That’s enough for me. You wouldn’t last long in my foxhole I guarantee you.

How do we get screwed like this every year?

One pick away from our 4th being a 3rd and two picks aways from our 5th being a 4th. Always on the losing end of the close round breaks.

That's not how it works. They don't push a 4th up to a 3rd if there aren't enough 3rd rounders given out. They could give out just one or two 3rd rounders and a ton of 7ths. It's based on the contract of the free agent and some other lesser factors. They aren't going to upgrade a $1M free agent to a third rounder if there aren't a bunch of QBs, CBs, and DLs signing big dollar deals.

I'm not going anywhere brother, I've been here since 1969 and god willing I'll be here for another championship long after you leave when Dak is gone.

Move that extra 3rd and 4th to snatch another 2nd rounder. We need 3 def starters immediately.

Actually that is how it works.

Of course either based off of contract, but that doesn't mean we were one less contracted player away from one round higher.

Very weird reply, because so confident yet so wrong.

 

[coult44]

BUt but but we cant fix the defense because we paid Dak. wah wah wah

Dude serious? How many years do we put ourselves through this? We are not a good drafting team!!! We stopped winning super bowls when Jerry stopped getting the great big time FA’s

 

[atlantacowboy]

Yeah, what do the Dak ball washers care about the rest of the team? Dak's 9-11 in his last 20 starts. The truth hurts.

 

[buybuydandavis]

I want Dalton back. It's settled that Dak's the starter, but if he goes down, I want an experienced vet like Dalton to step in.

It will be interesting to see what Dalton gets in free agency. His accuracy stats are pretty good, he faced the highest drop% in the league, while having low average pocket time.

I think he's a starter who will be signed to fight for a starting spot somewhere. He'll get offers way above our backup money offer.

I'd say Dak was better, but Dalton was solid after coming back from injury.
Dak QB 99.6, Dalton 97.8.

If you somehow thing there are a certain number of fixed picks per round and your comp pick could "slide up" a round (the Cowboys were somehow robbed this year?), then you don't have it right. Explain your equal distribution of comp picks per round in 2017:
https://nflcommunications.com/Pages/NFL-Announces-32-Compensatory-Draft-Choices-to-16-Clubs.aspx

There are 32 picks handed out each year. That doesn't include the newly instituted coaching/GM picks this season which bumped the total up a few. The top 32 are handed out based on a formula largely based on salary. If the top 32 didn't meet the third round threshold, they aren't going to just hand out 3rd round picks to the top comp pick team because it fits a quota.

In 2016 there were only 4 third rounders awarded:
https://nflcommunications.com/Pages/NFL-ANNOUNCES-33-COMPENSATORY-DRAFT-CHOICES-TO-13-CLUBS.aspx

In 2013 there were only 3 third rounders:
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-announces-compensatory-picks-for-2013-nfl-draft/

In 2019 there were only 3 fifth rounders. The Pats didn't get ripped off expecting their next comp pick in the 6th round to magically move up because of the teams above them. Danny Amendola's contract that year with the Dolphins wasn't high enough to justify a 5th rounder, no matter what had happened to the players with larger contracts above him.

If Robert Quinn had signed a larger deal, or if he'd met much greater playing time thresholds then there was the possibility of him qualifying for a third rounder. It wouldn't have mattered if Dante Fowler had stayed with the Rams and not given them a 3rd rounder.

Move that extra 3rd and 4th to snatch another 2nd rounder. We need 3 def starters immediately.

Hopefully they can find a sucker to do execute this.
Takes two to salsa.

With the shrinking cap and the number of kids in the draft, I wouldn't hold your breath on Dalton getting starter money that nets Dallas a 3rd rounder. He might get a placeholder spot to warm the seat for a rookie like Lance that could need more time. Otherwise he's on a fast train to backup city.

 

[renny]

4 extra picks. There will be some draft day movement by the Cowboys for sure. Too bad for the Dak haters as they’ve already given up on the next 4 years.

I love it, they hate Dak so much that they can't enjoy the team.

Depends what people think of him. He has been a starter, and his QB rating after he came back from injury was 98. One paper, his stats are starting caliber.

Probably not a 3. Good chance for a 4. I think he'll be paid as a backup/starter tweener.

Dallas needs to load up at DT, S and LB. These picks will really help.
