Pollard most likely gets you a RD2 comp pick in 2024

[John813]

The highest available comp pick is a 3rd round pick.

Good explanation on how comp picks are formulated.

I'm just not sold on Robinson in the 1st.

At pick 26 its a steal we need playmaker and the kid is a playmaker

I'm not confident in how it translates to the NFL. And I'm not drafting a RB in the 1st two rounds.

Cut Zeke.
Franchise Pollard.
Draft a RB. The class is very deep you don't need to draft Robinson or Gibbs.
Pollard is a Playmaker meaning he can impact the run and passing game, but some don't know cause Kellen didn't use him properly.

I think Pollard makes a full recovery. He broke his Fibula, which isn't the major weight bearing bone. From what I read the Fibula wasn't even what required surgery, but it was the high ankle sprain.

Larry Allen was a round 2 compensatory pick

Larry Allen was selected in the 2nd round at pick #46. That is not a comp pick selection. You can google comp pick rules and it will show you that the comp picks start at the end of round 3. This year they start with pick #96 since the Dolphins had to forfeit their 1st round pick for tampering. Christian Kirk is projected to get the Arizona Cardinals the first comp pick this year at pick #96. Kirk signed a 4 year $72 million contract at $16 million per year. Pollard won't sniff anything near that.

From a Q & A on Comp picks from the NFL Rule website

In which rounds are picks awarded?​

Compensatory picks are awarded starting at the end of the third round through the seventh round.

A RD2 comp pick in 2024.

I know what he did this yr was great, but unless he has Adrian Petersons DNA he's not going to be the same next yr. For me what makes this a easier want than most is Robinson and Gibbs. You get any of these 2 and you filled that hole, and you get 4 yrs on the rookie deal, and the 5th yr option. Then you can repeat if the production doesn't justify.

Both RB should go
Get fresh legs

Larry Allen was a round 2 compensatory pick

The last time a second round comp pick was awarded was like 1997. So unless some rule changed that I’m unaware of, the highest you can get is a third

From the information in these last two post Pollard, at best would fetch a 3rd round pick. Also, TPs injury isn't as bad as some ppl try to make it out to be.

It's been said TP will be ready before TC, and why give up a Pro Bowl Playmaker for 4th round comp pick, especially on a team void of multiple Playmakers on offense.

The CBA has changed since 1994…

I hadn't either but I know they had been given. Guess I'm wrong here.

But I'd take the 3rd too. Nomore big deals for rbs.

Looks like we were both right in some regards. I never knew that Larry Allen was a comp pick and never knew they awarded comp picks that high. However, the rules have changed since then. The highest awarded comp picks are now at the end of the 3rd round. Here are the projected comp picks for this year.

Pollard is a Playmaker meaning he can impact the run and passing game, but some don't know cause Kellen didn't use him properly.

Cutting Zeke costs more money than if he simply takes a pay cut to 6M base (From 10M base). You can get his cap hit fairly low with a restructure bonus off that.
And I mean save 8M in cap space plus keep Zeke around. And this means not eating his full cap hit until June 2nd.
BUT he is def on downhill slide so I'm not hating on a ripped bandaid approach.
Just know it might not be the cheapest option.

TP is seriously injured and may or may not be as good as he was in a career year upon his return.
And whether he is or not it costs you 10M and buys you zero going forward.
You can probably sign TP for 4 years with 2 void years and pay less in cap space.
The drafting of a RB is likely tied to TP not Zeke who is a short-term solution and short yardage back.

Drafting a RB is much easier to type than actually do. Dallas can sit in round 1 thinking about Bijan but see him go a couple picks ahead of them.
Coming out of the draft with any single position can be tough so best you can do is have guys on your list.

If Pollard isn’t the same next year, it’s because of the injury now because of the workload. He hasn’t carried the ball near as much as Adrian Peterson, lol There’s no assurances those two players fill the hole he would leave. The draft is a crapshoot. Some of you act like you simply draft a player and you’ve filled the hole.

 

[shabazz]

No way a running back in the 1-3 rounds.

with the salaries kept in mind a good guideline is the franchise prices for 2023 and running backs are the tenth cheapest to franchise. Get that WR, DT or OL in the first couple rounds and take advantage of those rookie contracts for as long as possible.

just franchise Tony and pick up a RB late in the draft or free agency

 

[jujoboys]

I hadn't either but I know they had been given. Guess I'm wrong here.

But I'd take the 3rd too. Nomore big deals for rbs.

Also, we are in total agreement on not giving RBs big money. I would cut Zeke and let Pollard walk,.like it has been suggested. Draft a RB or 2 this year. Preferably in the 3rd round or later. Not in the first round for sure. We need to save the 1st and 2nd round picks for CB, OLine, or WR.

 

[youngjerryjones]

NO........ No no no no no no no no.

That would imply drafting a back in the 1st round which is the ultimate waste of draft capital.

Look at the Chiefs after they won the super bowl they went out and drafted a very average running back with the 32 overall pick when multiple pro bowlers at other (much more valuable) positions were on the table.

Bijan Robinson is the 6th ranked player in the draft, you definitely draft him if he is sitting there at 26 and majority of your offensive issues disappear and you immediately help your QB who desperately needs an effective run game.

 

[youngjerryjones]

The highest comp picks are at the end of Round 3. Round 2 comp picks don't exist. He may net a 5th round comp pick.

We are projected to get a 5th round comp pick for Randy Gregory and Connor Williams for 2023 and a 6th round pick for Cedric Wilson.

Will probably net a 3rd, if anything a 4th now due to his injury and potential teams not wanting to commit long-term. This could all end up in our favour, where he doesn't get close to what he wants and stays in Dallas for even cheaper

Elliott not going to get cut if he takes a pay cut that makes sense for the team. If he doesn't then I think he will.
