Cowboys get 4 compensatory picks

[Pass2Run]

Compensatory, a word so nice he wrote it twice.

That's our Super Bowl. We're No. 1! We're No. 1!

170 - maybe the Notre Dame QB?

 

[gimmesix]

They need to use these to get back in the 4th round or trade for a guy that can actually start on this team. Shouldn't be too hard to find with 5 open positions.

We used four fifth-round picks in 2022. That's how we ended up with DaRon Bland. I prefer to fire our shots because you are going to miss with most of them.

You may think it's better to package them for a fourth, but there's a pretty good shot at missing there. Here's our fourth-round picks the past five years: Viliami Fehoko, Jake Ferguson, Jabril Cox, Josh Ball, Reggie Robinson, Tyler Biadasz, We've hit on two out of six.

Isn’t this old news. I thought we’ve known for a while that we had 10 picks, including four 5th rounders?

Yes. Exactly right.

I’d really like to know the exact formula. Who was it that left SF that the a 3rd and a 4th?

So technically they are 6th round picks since the 5th round ends at 32.

The 5th round is picks 140-178 this year. The 5th round comps are added to the 5th round not the 6th.

Stephen Jones is happy ....... he would trade our 1st for 10 5ths if he could.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I can get behind the idea of not spending in FA and racking up comp picks sucks.

They did that last year and that is why we have 3 relatively high picks. There were only 2 4th rounders and they had like the next 3.

Regardless, the strategy sucked. This year because they are signing all these guys, they are not going to be getting many if any picks next year.

IOW, this is a fundamental shift in strategy.

4 starters

 

[AbeBeta]

Some teams are getting two thirds (over two years) for developing minority coordinators who go on to get HC positions.

Don't even have to lose a player. Just gotta shed outdated opinions about who is smart enough to call an offense or a defense.

This is where decisions to hire re-re-re-treads like Zimmer and Nolan bite you in the behind -- why not give Al Harris a shot last year? The players certainly wanted that. Could have likely brought Zim in as a senior consultant even -- he gets to go home early to his way too young girlfriend, Harris gets to show his chops.

Outdated thinking on this team

 

[Whyjerry]

It's over for the rest of the league. Giving us extra draft picks is crazy

Especially those 6th rounder. Whoa doggie we are gonna add some studs.

 

[reddyuta]

we can move into the 4th Rd if we want,also we absolutely need to draft 2 RBs in this draft.i like so many of these RBs and it would be a criminal negligence if we dont draft 2 of them.

 

[Nova]

jesus the Mingo trade was terrible

 

[rambo2]

Use all three 5th round picks on QBs and hope you hit a home run.

Lol

 

[jazzcat22]

with three fifth round picks we can get a rb, wr. and maybe a project dt or te.

They still have their own as well. 4 - 5th round picks.
They can trade into the 4th round and reach for a DL. Then tell us how they got value. Only for him to be off the team in 3 years. As they keep him a year too long.

 

[Nova]

Yes. Exactly right.

I’d really like to know the exact formula. Who was it that left SF that the a 3rd and a 4th?

Sam Darnold

Which illustrates how flawed the compensatory formula is.

If the idea is to compensate teams that lost players, the evaluation should be based on what value was lost by the original team, rather than the value gained by the new team.

Darnold was far less important to the 9ers than Dorance Armstrong was to the Cowboys.

 

[jazzcat22]

I don't think you can package compensatory picks for a higher draft choice.

Yes you can, they have been tradable for the past 5 or 6 years now.

 

[maryquality]

Use all three 5th round picks on QBs and hope you hit a home run.

That would be hilarious if this was actually done!!

 

[rambo2]

That would be hilarious if this was actually done!!

It's hilarious thinking that it is a possibility.

We have built the core of this team through 5th round picks
