Cowboys awarded 4th round compensatory pick

[plymkr]

How did the rams sign everyone under the sun and get two thirds? Who did they lose?

Exact same thing I was thinking. How did that happen?

 

[atlantacowboy]

So....give away a young average tackle to just draft a tackle? And what tackle are you looking at?

And I don't know who is going to trade much for Collins.

Collins was better at G. He showed flashes of dominance. IMO, he's out of position at tackle. I don't think Connor Williams is an NFL starter.

One thing is for sure, they need to extend, trade, or release La El b/c he's not worth the 8.5 million dollar cap hit.

Good, at least we have a puck that will be useful i.e. not a 7th rounder or something. All 4 NFC East teams get picks, and Washington has 4 !

Don't think compensatory picks are able to be traded.

They can. Rule changed recently

They lost Watkins and Trumaine Johnson for very large deals and only signed Suh to a large deal. Nearly every other headline acquisition they made was via trade.

Edit: not Solder forgot he was a Patriot. I’m sure I’m forgetting someone they lost because Suh probably would have offset one of Watkins and Johnson.

According to PFT:
"The Rams lost Derek Carrier, Cody Davis, Trumaine Johnson and Sammy Watkins, while signing no compensatory free agents. (The free agents the Rams signed were released by other teams and not compensatory free agents.)"

So the super bowl teams each get 2 3rd round picks.

The rich get richer. I don't know how the Rams add all the talent they did and still get two top compensatory picks.

Ah! So that's how!

We are loaded.

They signed their guys like Woods last year and players that were waived like Suh and Fowler don't count

Cooks, Talib and Peters were trades

Trades and cut players like Suh don’t factor into the formula. They lost 4 big expiring contracts and signed no one of significance that came off an expiring contract from another team.

Thanks again Bene Benwikere!

I don’t think you can know if a guy can be a starter after a rookie season at a new position
By the end the year Williams was playing pretty well

We need 3 big hits in this draft
That’s what allows you to pay second contracts to some guys if you can keep replacing the others in the draft

Suh was a cap casualty so Durant count towards comp calculation

Johnson and Watkins were both obscenely overpaid (IMO). When you look at their contracts the 3rd round picks make sense.

 

[foofighters]

So, SUPERBOWL!!!!!!

 

[conner01]

The NFL shouldn’t waste their time with this stuff
They could have just came here and knew months ago what we was getting
I’ve been reading that news here for months

The Rich gets richer!
