Holy comp picks coming our way!

[entropyrules]

My guess at least 3 of the Bills comp picks will be awarded to the Pats per League policy

I've always wanted to win the comp pick championship...

I’m merely looking at how well Beane has stocked our roster, and how we are built to win the next 10 years

Don't worry Pete, I'm sure Beane will take all the picks he can get and love every minute of it.

You left out the most important comp picks of all:

If Leslie Frazier gets hired away to be a head coach somewhere, the Bills will receive compensatory 3rd round draft picks in 2022 and 2023 drafts.

Not bad.

Wha-a-a?

Seventh round better than UDFA:

It's all good, brother, I simply get a kick out of those fans who are obsessed with the comp pick formula and allocations.

Hughes, Addison, Sanders, Trubisky, Butler, Boettger, Wallace, Jones, Obada, Breida, Phillips, Zimmer, McKenzie, Neil are all UFA.  With our cap constraints, I can't imagine us making any big signings.  IMO we must extend Harrison and Levi, and maybe Siran.  I know the NFL comp awards system always screws Bills, just like the refs.  But everyone of those players will sign somewhere IMO.  Put that in your pipe NFL comp man- we will be awarded several comp picks, it's inevitable

A lot more goes into it than just players lost. Another team has to sign them to a pretty large contract. Also, I believe it factors in what contracts we gave out to FA as well. Out of all of those I see some being back, some signed to average contracts. MAYBE Trubisky gets a deal from a desperate GM needing a QB miracle.

Yes, if you lose a coach who moves up a level in rank, you get comp picks.

A minority coach.

And be roundly criticized by many here for whom he has chosen. 🤨

No way.  But if Levi wants to test market- he will get PAID

Maybe but his value is somewhat scheme-dependent

That goes without saying.  It was fun to re-read the comments about the 2018 1st round (7th overall) pick today.

 

If everyone in that thread ate what they needed to crow would be on the endangered species list.

 just by volume, we should get more than a 7th IMO.  And some team might way overpay for Levi, Harrison, Mitch

the volume determines the number. 
 

the quality of contract determines the round for each

Omg two extra 7th round picks!  So exciting 

We can use them on McCaffrey!

[Might Rather]

I've always liked Levi and he has stepped up when need most recently! He is the kind of player/person Mcdermott loves so I think he'll be back. 

[gonzo1105]

Don’t laugh at the guy but with Covid, the draft last year was really week after round 4. With the extra year this draft will be deeper than typical ones.

 

The Bills have 9 picks. If Frazier gets a HC job that’s an extra 3rd. Usually you have to get about 3.5 million now to even qualify in the top 32 lost Free Agents.
 

Out of those guys that are Free Agents, I suspect if we don’t re sign them that Trubisky, Wallace, Phillips, maybe Hughes on a 1 year, and Neal because of his STs prowess plus position flexibility being the likely guys. I would suspect we end up with 2 comp picks in the later rounds. 
 

It could end up being 

1st

2nd

3rd

3rd(Frazier)

4th

5th

5th(Comp)

6th

6th(Johnson)

6th(Comp)

7th

7th(Smith)

The one that has the chance to give us a third would be trubisky. He took a nagy team to the playoffs.  Dalton got 10 mil so maybe he does which i believe is the third round number. 

 

Now a 3rd round pick could be something worth getting excited about, good stuff is there in the 3rd round!! That’s our sweet spot for a RB 😂 🤢

That cap number means nothing with restructures and cuts bills can resign anymore they want

Spotrac has a market value on Levi of 3 years $17M.  It seems about right so it will come down to cap.
