What pick did we end up getting for Tait?
 

If this has been posted, I missed it.

I don't think we'll know that until around the first of April.

comp picks are the result of Net losses in FA markets...KC may not get one since they signed as many FA's as they lost last year. At least, that's the way I understand comp picks.

Who did thye sign as a FA last year? Dalton, and ????

I think just Dalton off the top of my head. As I understand the rule, KC lost Tait but gained Dalton so there is no net loss. IMO, that's crap because KC lost a mid first round pick for a journeyman.

I'd like to believe Im wrong about the rule and that KC gets a 3, but we wont know until around draft time in late april.

Nobody has any idea. Just when I think I understand the NFL's comp rule, I'm shocked we didn't get a pick.

It really is cryptic as hell. I think Tags just uses it to reward franchises who didn't cause him any grief over the year. Heh.

hasn't been announced yet

We also signed Bober as a FA. Welborne should not count against us since we traded for him. Even with Dalton AND Bober, I still think we lost more than gained, but not enough to get a 3rd. I would guess a 4th at best.

We also lost Quinn and signed Huard, but that's a net zero. Can't think of any other FAs signed even worth mentioning(i.e. practice squad level players not even in the equation I would think).

"(T)he league does not divulge the formula it uses to determine the number and value of the picks awarded. All that is known is that the free agent's salary, playing time and post-season honors are taken into account."

Maybe it's black magic.

I'll go with that...
