Houston was the last player from the 2011 draft to sign his rookie deal because he wanted to milk every drop. What does that tell you?
It tells me that we will need to franchise him unless we give him the biggest contract ever for his position. |

I imagine we will franchise him once or twice and then let him go.

Weren't there reports that we were talking to him about an extension at the combine?
Must not be going very well. |

It's still going to be cheaper than if we negotiate in 2015 when the cap jumps. And we can structure his contract to take one hit today and skip the next hit until 2016 when we have a shitload of cap space we can play with. And none of this affects our comp picks. Re-signing him this year is an excellent idea.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, March 24, 2014
TEXANS AWARDED THREE COMPENSATORY PICKS IN 2014 NFL DRAFT HOUSTON – The Houston Texans have been awarded three compensatory picks in the 2014 NFL Draft, the NFL announced today. The NFL Management Council determined the Texans will receive the 35th pick in the fourth round (135th overall), 35th pick in the sixth round (211th overall) and the 41st pick in the seventh round (256th overall and final pick of the draft). Below is the entire release from the NFL detailing the compensatory picks awarded in 2014: NFL ANNOUNCES 32 COMPENSATORY DRAFT CHOICES TO 13 CLUBS A total of 32 compensatory choices in the 2014 NFL Draft have been awarded to 13 teams, the NFL announced today. Under the rules for compensatory draft selections, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks. The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four. The 32 compensatory choices announced today will supplement the 224 choices in the seven rounds of the 2014 NFL Draft (May 8-10), which will kick off in primetime for the fifth consecutive year. The first round will be held on Thursday, May 8 and begin at 8:00 PM ET. The second and third rounds are set for Friday, May 9 at 7:00 PM ET followed by rounds 4-7 on Saturday, May 10 at 12:00 PM ET. This year, the compensatory picks will be positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost. Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula. The NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement limits the number of compensatory picks to the number of clubs then in the league (32). This year, three clubs – Chicago, Atlanta and Cincinnati – qualified for compensatory picks under the net loss formula but will not receive those picks because they ranked 33rd, 34th and 35th, respectively, among all compensatory picks. Atlanta and Cincinnati will receive picks for other compensatory free agents lost who ranked within the top 32 compensatory picks. A fourth club, Oakland, did not suffer a net loss of compensatory free agents last year but qualified for a compensatory pick because the compensatory free agents lost by the club were ranked higher than the ones they signed (by a specified points differential based upon salary and playing time). Because such picks are awarded after all compensatory picks at the end of the seventh round have been made, Oakland’s pick effectively ranked 36th among all compensatory picks, so the club will not receive a selection. The following 2014 compensatory draft picks have been determined by the NFL Management Council: ROUND CHOICE/ ROUND OVERALL SELECTION TEAM 3 33-97 Pittsburgh 3 34-98 Green Bay 3 35-99 Baltimore 3 36-100 San Francisco 4 33-133 Detroit 4 34-134 Baltimore 4 35-135 Houston 4 36-136 Detroit 4 37-137 New York Jets 4 38-138 Baltimore 4 39-139 Atlanta 4 40-140 New England 5 33-173 Pittsburgh 5 34-174 New York Giants 5 35-175 Baltimore 5 36-176 Green Bay 6 33-209 New York Jets 6 34-210 New York Jets 6 35-211 Houston 6 36-212 Cincinnati 6 37-213 New York Jets 6 38-214 St. Louis 6 39-215 Pittsburgh 7 33-248 Dallas 7 34-249 St. Louis 7 35-250 St. Louis 7 36-251 Dallas 7 37-252 Cincinnati 7 38-253 Atlanta 7 39-254 Dallas 7 40-255 Atlanta 7 41-256 Houston Following are the compensatory free agents lost and signed last year by the clubs that will receive compensatory picks in the 2014 NFL Draft: ATLANTA Lost: Brent Grimes, Luke McCown (did not qualify for a compensatory pick, 32 picks already awarded), Christopher Owens, Will Svitek, Vance Walker Gained: Osi Umenyiora BALTIMORE Lost: Dannell Ellerbe, Paul Kruger, Ed Reed, Cary Williams Gained: None CINCINNATI Lost: Josh Brown, Bruce Gradkowski, Manny Lawson, Brian Leonard (did not qualify for a compensatory pick, 32 picks already awarded), Pat Sims, Dan Skuta Gained: Josh Johnson, Mike Pollak, Alex Smith DALLAS Lost: Victor Butler, Kenyon Coleman, Mike Jenkins, John Phillips Gained: Justin Durant DETROIT Lost: Cliff Avril, Gosder Cherilus, Justin Durant, Drayton Florence, Sammie Lee Hill Gained: Reggie Bush, Jason Jones, Glover Quin GREEN BAY Lost: Greg Jennings, Erik Walden Gained: None HOUSTON Lost: Alan Ball, Connor Barwin, James Casey, Justin Forsett, Donnie Jones, Glover Quin Gained: Greg Jones, Shane Lechler, Ed Reed NEW ENGLAND Lost: Patrick Chung, Donald Thomas, Wes Welker, Danny Woodhead Gained: Danny Amendola, Isaac Sopoaga, Will Svitek NEW YORK GIANTS Lost: Martellus Bennett, Chase Blackburn, Domenik Hixon, Osi Umenyiora Gained: Josh Brown, Ryan Mundy, Brandon Myers NEW YORK JETS Lost: Yeremiah Bell, Mike DeVito, Shonn Greene, Dustin Keller, LaRon Landry, Matt Slauson Gained: Antwan Barnes, Mike Goodson PITTSBURGH Lost: Keenan Lewis, Rashard Mendenhall, Ryan Mundy, Mike Wallace Gained: Bruce Gradkowski SAN FRANCISCO Lost: Ted Ginn, Dashon Goldson, Ricky Jean Francois, Isaac Sopoaga, Delanie Walker Gained: Craig Dahl, Phil Dawson, Glenn Dorsey, Dan Skuta ST.

Let's trade two seconds for a QB so we can fill the stadium with a clear win-now move, then proceed to follow it up by claiming the new plan is to build through the draft with only 6 picks. Nothing like a win-now move that is set to potentially pay off in 2015 at the earliest. Meanwhile, the best players on this team are another year older, with no replacements in sight. Best case scenario is Dorsey drafts his ass off and we start to see dividends in 3 years when the core of this team is on their last legs. |

Meanwhile, let's not sign any FA's to fill the massive holes on this roster, because the 3 late round comp picks we're going to get in 2015 are going to be crucial to the success of the organization..
Love the rationalization around here. |

If the Chiefs draft very well, including finding a QBOTF, it doesn't have to be. The window never closes.

If we get comp picks, we'll end up with 16-17 draft picks next year. And we set up a really attractive 2015 to 2016 cap situation. Both are long shot approaches. But at least the situation where we play it patient actually gives us a shot to be a real contender on the gamble that we play our cards right. |

I don't get where we're getting 4 picks. Are we trading players?...

As of now, we are in a great situation to earn a lot of them. We gave up a lot more players than we brought in. The value of the players we brought in was a whole lot less than what we lost. We will get rewarded handsomely. Signing Jairus Byrd, on the other hand... that probably would have jeopardized any hope of getting that 3rd we will probably get for Albert. |
