Chiefs get Mr. irrelavant
 

NFL awards Lions one compensatory draft pick

The NFL released its list of teams awarded with compensatory picks in the 2009 NFL draft, and the Detroit Lions will get the second to last pick in the seventh round, No. 255 overall.


The Kansas City Chiefs got the final pick of the draft at No. 256.
Teams who the NFL determines have a net loss of players in the previous season – in terms of quantity and quality – are eligible to receive extra picks in the draft.
However, the Lions were not awarded any compensatory picks based on the compensatory pick formula. Detroit and Kansas City were each given a compensatory pick based on the 2009 draft selection order.
By rule, two additional picks are awarded at the end of the seventh round to bring the total number of compensatory selections to 32, equaling the number of NFL clubs.

That's a very odd rule. Why do the number of picks have to equal the number of teams? Every team doesn't get a pick. And why wouldn't the Rams have gotten the final pick?

If Curry is available I'd take him in a heartbeat!

This is going to be HUGE. Our very own Tom Brady. THE DEAL IS DONE!

I'll take it. I'll take everydraft pick we can get.

I'll be pissed if we don't get an immediate starter.

The Rams and Chiefs had the same record. Since the Rams won the tiebreaker to pick #2, the Chiefs get the consolation prize (#256).

Seems fair.

Oh. This has officially been a day of learning for me now.

Chase McDonalds ftw!

It's all part of Pioli's plan

Ziggy Hood.

Glenn Dorsey is entering this year's draft?

We should trade the pick to the raiders for their 2nd and 3rd !

There's our sleeper late round QB. It's been Pioli's plan all along.

The next Tom Brady. Book it.
