Comp. Picks Announced

[SDogo]

A total of 32 compensatory choices in the 2007 NFL Draft have been awarded to 16 teams, the NFL announced today. Under terms of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in a year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks. The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four. The 32 compensatory choices announced today will supplement the 223 choices in the seven rounds of the 2007 NFL Draft (April
28-29).


This year, the compensatory picks will be positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost. Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula. One club this year (Cincinnati) will receive a compensatory pick even though it did not suffer a net loss of compensatory free agents. Under the formula, the compensatory free agents Cincinnati lost were ranked higher than the ones it signed (by a specified point differential based upon salary and performance). The following 2007 draft picks have been determined by the NFL Management Council:

* 1994 was first year that compensatory draft choices were awarded.

 

[SDogo]

The 49ers have 4 picks in day 1 and 8 picks in the 1st 4 rounds.

 

[sago1]

Boy are they going to get good real fast.

 

[BLT]

how is it were still in the lead with the most compensation picks when we havent gotten 1 in like 4 years probably

 

[theebs]

san francisco and new england should come away with some serious talent.

All these picks basically devalue our 6th and 7th round picks considerably.

Looks like he did a pretty good job again this year. Seems the league is a bit more generous though.

 

[Rockytop6]

Maybe the league doesn't understand the formula as well as Adam. My money is on Adam.

 

[COWBOYSNUM1]

I hate compensatory picks. :bang2::bang2::bang2::bang2::bang2:

 

[Crown Royal]

I wish they would write that out of the CBA. It just seems silly to me.

 

[David276]

well our boys dont look to get any extra picks..not sure if thats a good or a bad thing ?????but the worst of luck to the other 31 teams with their picks. and i agree on the san fran and new england thing comment. Cant wait to see the boys going at it with those two teams.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I guess it's clear we had a period where we really sucked at drafting. 32 comp picks and we don't get one?
