So, how many 2008 draft picks do we have now? - Page 3

Kylo Ren · 06-06-2007, 10:01 PM

I assume we have all of our 7 picks in 2008? Have we traded any away? I don't recall. We've gained a 5th for Dante Hall and probably a 4th for Trent. Have we gained any other picks that I'm forgetting? I think there's still a chance that we may trade one or two more players. I think we'll have 10 or more picks in '08. I like it!

Hell, we're lucky we don't lose picks for that garbage.

James Reed and Lenny Walls

Sorry, Lenny Walls and Kris Griffin. Were the FA?

We still have James Reed.

Yup.

We also lost Sammy Knight, but we signed some guy today along with Jon McGraw.

EDIT: We also lost Will Shields and Willie Roaf to retirement this offseason (are we compensated for that?), and we're likely going to cut Holmes.

Sammy Knight was released from his contract.

I don't believe that that compensatory picks are awarded for players that enter free agency via cuts.

There isn't any compesation for players retired, or even players that die.

I clearly don't understand this so I've decided the easiest route is to no longer care.

Yeah, that eliminates Hicks, too. And probably Kris Griffin since the Browns got him off waivers, which means we were likely letting him go.

According to ESPN.com, it looks like we lost 5 people to FA... Kawika, Black, Walls, Dee Brown, and Kendall Gammon. But Brown and Gammon haven't signed anywhere, so it's just those first 3.

And we gained McIntosh, Harris, Donnie, that long snapper, Boone, Jon McGraw, and the S we signed today. That's 7 FA additions, so there's no shot at a compensatory pick.

Direckshun · 06-06-2007, 11:30 PM

Since when did we "lose" Brown?

Has there been anything official announced, like what happened with Kendall? Or are you just assuming we lost him because we haven't resigned the dude yet.

He's been a free agent since March 2nd, so he's in the "loss" category unless they re-sign him. And if they were going to, they probably would have gotten him in before OTAs and minicamp and all that. Plus, we just drafted an RB.

I think it's probably safe to consider him gone.

Direckshun · 06-06-2007, 11:43 PM

Reasonable.

With Ross and Smith...yeah. That's a good bet.

We won't get jack in compensatory. It's based on what you lost, what you gained and how much the players you lost are earning.

I wonder if there was a way in which KC could have redone Green's contract to make him a free agent? It's possible KC could have gotten a higher compensatory pick for him than the conditional 5th; plus less of a PR hit.

Green would have had to agree to it for one thing.
