Buffalo Gets 4th round comp pick

[Process]

I thought this **** was calculated, and based on a formula or something, where it was a fact we were getting a third round pick. Does anyone ACTUALLY know how this works?

 

What a dumb system.

It's a formula that the NFL has kept secret, but there's been enough comp picks awarded that people have figured the formula out. 

 

It's shocking to see a pick not awarded as expected. I can't remember the last time (ever?) this happened

So is this the Edmunds pick?....it was always slated at 99?

Yes … they have designated it a fourth round… not third 

[BillsFanForever19]

Yikes. This is bad.

 

I mean, with two 4th's and 3 5th's we can probably make a deal to get us back into Round 3. But that's still costing us picks in a trade up we weren't planning on making.

Pegs better get on the blower to Roger and sort this **** out …

Bengals fans are mad because they lost their starting safeties and only get two 6th round picks. I don’t know how much those two signed for in FA, but Beane was careful to navigate the cap to ensure we’d get a 3rd for Edmunds $18M/yr contract. He said he even spoke to people to make sure his signings weren’t jeopardizing that. Something does feel wrong here.

I'm calling the league and appealing this crap. This isn't right.

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

This is false. The NFL awarded 9 third-round comp picks in 2022. https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-awards-39-compensatory-2022-nfl-draft-picks-to-16-teams

 

There were 8 last year too. Maybe when we aim to get a 3rd next time we'll let a WR walk. Honestly, I won't be shocked if Gabe Davis nets us a fourth given that he plays a premium dollar position.

Beane is about to go scorched earth to stick it to the rest of the league

Just like when McKissic / WSH clowned us.

INCOMING MASSIVE MOVE

LETS GO

How was our pick #99 in literally every mock draft   and now it's not? 

I thought these were determined already

Brutal for any trade up thoughts

If we're going to reward teams for hiring coaches based on ___________    how about awarding teams who invested $$$$ to build a stadium.  

WHAT A JOKE

The idea that the Bills were not awarded a third round pick based on the minority hiring situation is false. There were 7 third round comp picks handed out last year and 9 the year before.

Stop with the comp pick games.
