Buffalo Gets 4th round comp pick

[HappyDays]

One theory I've seen is that the NFL supposedly factors in playing time with the comp pick formula. Edmunds missed time in 2022 so that may be the thing that screwed us.

 

Man this really really sucks. Beane traded for Rasul Douglas because he thought we had another 3rd round pick.

[HOUSE]

This is more exciting than signing Mitch Trubisky 

[GunnerBill]

We lost our 3rd to the Rams because Raheem Morris was hired as a Head Coach by the Falcons. FFS. 

 

Jax's 3rd is Jawann Taylor

San Fran's 3rd is Demeco Ryans

Philly's 3rd is Javon Hargrave

Yep. That is a big mistake by Beane.

Yikes.  Bad look for us to be operating under the assumption of a 3rd. 
 

Beane better start developing some minority coaches if we ever want to play the comp pick game apparently.  Can’t wait to have our DC & OC both hired in the next few years for nothing.

Correct if I'm wrong but isn't this the 2nd time the NFL screwed us on the comp formula? Maybe it was Jarious Byrd ? Or maybe someone else anyone remember?

[transplantbillsfan]

This is irritating.  Last year when Edmunds was walking there were so many people in terms of podcasters and posters on here saying we'd get a 3rd because it's a formula.

 

So to those of you who said it would be a 3rd, what happened?

[N.Y. Orangeman]

There is a complete lack of transparency in this process.

How the F does San Francisco get FIVE comp picks, including a third and a fourth???

Expand  

 

They did lose a lot of players.  They added some too, and javon hargrave got a big deal.  But Jimmy G, McGlinchey, Ebukam, Omenihu, Ward, Moseley and al-shaair all got 5M AAV or more after leaving SF.

I could be wrong but I don't think that's how it works. I don't think there is a limit to the number of comp picks in a given round. Pretty sure the super secret comp pick formula just screwed us somehow.

 

Why the NFL doesn't make this information known I will never understand. Don't they want their GMs having all the facts when they make decisions? Think of all the work our front office and scouting departments have done on 3rd round targets, now all of that work is for nothing. So stupid.

We were the lowest 3rd and a minority coach got hired.

Well, :13 seconds cost us a chance at getting comp picks for Frazier.  Nobody was going to hire him as HC after that.

People talking out of their arse.  Is the number of 3rd round compensatory picks limited to 3?

There is no set limit but there are parameters. I am pretty certain that has knocked us out.

This ain’t good … downgraded …

 

No third round pick 

Im assuming they got jumped by the teams getting picks for their minority coaches ? 

Expand  

 

No. There is no set maximum for each round.  This is disappointing.

They better extend Douglas now … get a couple years value for that 3rd round pick

So minority hiring actually affects the field of play?

 

Beginning of the end.

They should reward teams that actually hire minority head coaches. I always thought that was backwards.

Expand  

 

I could not disagree more.  The teams that actually develop the minority coaches and GMs and help them become quality performers are the ones that should be rewarded. 

[Brand J]

Welp, sorry for those who wanted 2 WRs drafted within the first 2 days.

1 or 2 spots?

On WGR they did a mock draft and a 4th allowed them to move up to 22 I believe. The difference was getting Brian Thomas jr or not. Worth it

Those idiots mustn’t have been paying attention to the last 2 drafts then when higher 4ths than this one only moved them up two spots in the first

No. If a team develops a minority that another team hires as their GM or HC, then the team that they were hired away from gets two 3rd round comp picks. One each in two consecutive years. The team that hires the person does not get any picks for it.

Not sure. Maybe the league’s formula changed? OTC had been nailing all of the comp picks for years. They seemed to have it all dialed in. I’m shocked.
