ChanOverChin Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 The Bills lost a big time player in S J. Byrd who NO paid $10M+. What draft picks do you think we might be awarded for losing Byrd/others in 2014?? With only a R2/R3/R5/R6/R6 in 2015 we could sure use more quality draft picks.
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 And N.O. Signed him for either 8.25 or 8.75 million per year, I believe.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Yea Bills don't get any thing year. when was the last time the Bills got a comp pick???
Beef Jerky Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) when was the last time the Bills got a comp pick??? 2012 7th Edited March 8, 2015 by Beef Jerky
The Crowing Rooster Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Wouldn't those have been awarded in the 2014 draft anyway?
Beerball Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Wouldn't those have been awarded in the 2014 draft anyway? no
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 2012 7th LOL Does a late 7th really count? that's like getting a street FA the day after the draft
Beef Jerky Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) LOL Does a late 7th really count? that's like getting a street FA the day after the draftWell the Bills have had the 9th most since the picks have started at 26. Baltimore has the most at 41 picks since 1994. Just shows how bad the drafting has been for the Bills over the past decade, the guys we let go no one wanted more then the guys we needed to bring in. That is probably the big reason they never transition tagged Hughes, b.c if him and Searcy get huge contracts it would mean compensation next year. Edited March 8, 2015 by Beef Jerky

Estro Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) We get nothing. Had we not signed 1 of our FA's signees last year, we would've likely received a 3rd/4th round selection. It's no coincidence that the Baltimore Ravens and Patriots have multiple compensatory picks awarded almost every year. Smart business accumulating extra mid round draft choices if you can work the system intelligently, you just have to make sure you always have a net loss via FA. Then you replace those losses in FA with your "compensatory" picks that work for cheap. I get the impression the Bills won't be operating under this model though, by the looks of things lately. Their loss. Edited March 8, 2015 by Estro

NoSaint Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) NE only has one more compensatory pick then the Bills have gotten since it started... Bills 26 Pats 27 What is the count the last 6-8 years? Especially if you take out the "we didn't give out enough so we are starting an 8th round" ones My gut tells me the pats win that Edited March 8, 2015 by NoSaint

They took Brady with one and we have Matt Cassel who was also a compensatory pick.
