Those signings were as follows.
The ones in bold are the only ones I see really stirring up any trouble for us in the compensatory draft picks meeting, and those additions, go up against the following.
So, obviously with those names seen, we're getting picks, and one could argue that we lost 4 guys worth a 3rd round compensatory pick based on production, or their original draft pick and games played (tyson jackson as an example).
Obviously that's not going to happen, but you can, and often, will see picks awarded twice in the same round as we saw last year multiple times.
At this point, I think we're guaranteed at least 3 selections of 3rd to 5th round values. Losing Albert should gain a 3rd rounder, especially since he was a starter and was drafted here, and made solid money on the market. The same could be said for Asamoah and Schwartz with 4th and 5th round "floor" marks, as high as two 3rds IMO. Tyson Jackson, a former first rounder and starter "should" yield a 3rd rounder, but he's tyson jackson so we'll probably have to give our 7th just to forget that name here in KC. McCluster was like a 3rd round pick or something and statistically had "significant" production here in KC and signed a fairly decent contract himself, though I consider him the talent "runt" of the bunch, his contract, draft selection, and production should weigh enough in my mind to balance our compensatory selections against this years' additions to give us a 4th selection in the 6th round.
I think we're likely going to see 3 picks in the 3-5th rounds, and an extra pick in the 6th round here "if" we get the 4th selection and don't get shafted by the Mauga/McGlynn pickups.
I'd like to believe that Albert, Asamoah, Schwartz, and Jackson are our basis points here for the compensatory selections as we all but failed to replace all of them (whether they were needed or not) and have talents and contracts high enough to award two 3rds and two 4ths, but here in this day of the NFL, I'll assume something closer to 3rd, two 4ths, and a 6th when they close those talks in marchish.
