Not counting Compensatory picks or trades of course. There were 7 non playoff teams at 8-8. Each round you go up one until you reach the earliest pick then you go to the back of the line and up again.

1st round...#14
2nd round...13th pick, #45
3rd round...19th pick, #82
4th round...18th pick, #113
5th round...17th pick, #144
6th round...16th pick, #175
7th round...15th pick, #206

Sorry man. If I am going to stay out of debates, stuff like this has to sustain me.
 
Thanks Hos and I will be interesting to see what the rumors are that you and SoDog have for who the Cowboys are interested in in this upcoming draft. I hoping DeCastro but it appears the SoDog commented that AZ also is interested in him also. That would suck because they beat us and get could get the guy that I covet in this draft.

You're done with debates now? You were giving people tongue lashings all year. :p:

Wait don't we get like a 6th or something for Bowen

The very first words of his post were:

"Not counting Compensatory picks or trades of course."
 
The only silver lining to losing is that we put ourselves in position for players that we otherwise wouldn't sniff.

I'd be 100% comfortable drafting nothing but OL and DB if that's what it's going to take.

Can you explain for me why we are drafting in different spots in each round?

Asking here because my question got lost in the fanzone thread.

Teams with the same record cycle draft position. The first 8-8 team in a round takes the last 8-8 spot in the next round, or something like that. Be happy Arizona was slotted ahead of us in round 1.

I hope you are spending some time figuring out a better sig than the one you have today. Every time I see that thing, it makes me shudder.

thanks for the information on draft spots. Happy to see that we move up a spot in the second before taking a dive back to the 19th spot for the third.

You are most certainly not staying out of debates! You can't avoid them.

Because Oakland used their third round pick to take Terrele Pryor in the supplemental draft.
