Jamie Nails Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Let me save everyone time: We don't have any for the 11 billionth year in a row. 3 3
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Uh Oh, he we go. This will get ugly fast! 1
John from Riverside Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Meh I am ok with it....we have limited spots on this roster at this point anyway 1

Especially offensively. We are all set with upper echelon talent across the board. Who needs competition? 1

Look at how many players we ALREADY have under contract....its one of the highest in the league. We are crying over what.....a late round pick maybe? 2
Don Otreply Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 We are not allowed to have comp picks, it’s a rule..... ? 1
MJS Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 We're still in the building phase and accumulating talent, so of course we don't have any. 6 minutes ago, Jpsredemption said: Yea this roster is so good how could we possibly have room?

Our roster isn't to that point yet. 4
Logic Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I'd be willing to bet that the people who complain that we never get compensatory picks are the same people who will be complaining once the Bills stop being active in free agency periods (which is what it will take to start getting comp picks). Grass is always greener on the other side. For what it's worth, I do believe that, as the years go on, Beane will be looking to start collecting comp picks. It's hard to do so during a complete tear-down and rebuild. Now that the rebuilding effort is nearing its latter stages, though, I expect less free agency activity and more comp picks in years to come. 4

I agree with this....especially when we have to start paying Franchise QB money......our drafts are going to become SUPER important then 1

They are wanting to shape the roster just to get picks.
Virgil Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 We get a 7th rounder and the Pats are awarded the first overall pick as a comp 2
DrDawkinstein Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Starting early this year with this discussion, eh?

By your logic, you would we be happy if we were the only team in the NFL that didntpick up a bunch of UDRFA? After all not even draft picks. Of course you would be uspet, you are always looking for diamons ion the later rounds and UDRFA. More competition the better oh and pleayrs do get hurt as well.

Yeah, this isn’t the part of the rebuild where we could be expected to shed FAs. We purged the roster and built up cap space reserves. We’re spending on FAs for 2 or 3 seasons while this regime’s draft picks are under their rookie deals. In another couple years we (hopefully) will be in a situation where we are shedding FAs that are being replaced by younger/better players. We will earn our Comp picks then. 1

Roy, I of course would like more picks (who would not?) What I am trying to say is a. Winning means more to me b. Winning teams (except for the friggen patriots who magically seem to get them every year) tend to sign their own......and therefore dont lose as many players to free agency at least that is the way I see it. We are in EXCELLENT shape roster wise except for a few spots....and Beane has worked the team into shape to easily address them. Edited February 21, 2020 by John from Riverside
CaptnCoke11 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 You mean no 6th or 7th round pick at the end of the round? We are doomed

I'd say that this discussion is on par for this board. Things are looking bright though. Teams can place franchise tags on players starting Monday. The NFL Combine starts next week. We're 26 days away from free agency.
