Compensation Picks for Dallas (Potential)

[ceerrece]

Most scouts say you might not get a starter at 27

You could find a starter in every round, it all depends on how well our scouting department does it.

Dallas can only get four total comp picks.

And if they sign CJ Spiller, for instance, they lose the Murray comp pick. Every time they sign a player, they lose a comp pick.

That's the way I understand it, anyway.

Keep in mind that every compensatory free agent signed cancels out a compensatory free agent lost. But so far, the Cowboys haven't signed any compensatory free agents, and have lost six of their own. So right now, the Cowboys would stand to receive four comp picks (the maximum), with a good chance of getting one pick each in rounds 3 through 6. However, the comp picks for Murray and Carter could end up a round lower, depending on where exactly the thresholds for each round will be in 2016.

Right now, the Cowboys could go out and sign two unrestricted free agents to contracts of up to $4 million dollars each per year and still be left with four high comp picks in the 2016 draft.

I see this in bold saying high comp picks are not compromised in this scenario.

We cut Melton not sure we'd get anything

We declined the option. That is not the same as cutting. He became a FA because his contract expired. That is the key.

Seriously at this point I would prefer Dallas to wait until after June 1st to sign any FA to ensure we get 4 quality comp picks
