Comp picks

The Lions added two compensatory picks Friday, the No. 95 overall pick (third round) and the No. 210 overall pick (sixth round). Detroit had received 21 comp picks since 1994.

As expected lions got the highest one. 95th overall (3rd round) only other pick the lions got was #210 (6th rounder)

I was hoping for a 5th for Fairley, but guess that didn't happen.

Also worth noting:
Compensatory picks may not be traded this year. A rule change approved by clubs in 2015 will permit compensatory draft picks to be traded beginning in 2017.

A tweener between 3rd and 4th is a nice comp pick.

Money is big on those comp picks and Fairley only signed for 5m last year I believe. Hard to get a 5th on that.

Last year KC and Houston got a 5th out of their lost 4.5 million guys, so I was hopeful it was the same. Must have something to do with % of salary cap perhaps?

Not sure about everything but % of plays also plays a role. Not sure what else.

Found it here..

"The placement of the picks is determined by a proprietary formula based on the player's salary, playing time, and postseason honors with his new team, with salary being the primary factor"

Despite trading the 3rd rounder last draft, we look to be sitting pretty. I had no idea we had that many this year (even with the two comp picks).

With the strength in the draft I really hope we follow the Patriot way and trade down. There is a lot of talent to be had in the second and third rounds
