Ok guys here's what I'm thinking. I did some research after remembering that compensatory picks were not factored in yet. Well let's start there, as a refresher, here is what they are:
"In addition to the 32 picks in each round, there are a total of up to 32 picks dispersed at the ends of Rounds 3 through 7. These picks, known as "compensatory picks," are awarded to teams that have lost more qualifying free agents than they gained the previous year in free agency. Teams that gain and lose the same number of players but lose higher-valued players than they gain also can be awarded a pick, but only in the seventh round, after the other compensatory picks. Compensatory picks cannot be traded, and the placement of the picks is determined by a proprietary formula based on the player's salary, playing time and postseason honors with his new team, with salary being the primary factor. So, for example, a team that lost a linebacker who signed for $2.5 million per year in free agency might get a sixth-round compensatory pick, while a team that lost a wide receiver who signed for $5 million per year might receive a fourth-round pick.
If fewer than 32 such picks are awarded, the remaining picks are awarded in the order in which teams would pick in a hypothetical eighth round of the draft.
Compensatory picks are awarded each year at the NFL annual meeting which is held at the end of March; typically, about three or four weeks before the draft."
Compensatory picks will be awarded this year at the annual meeting which runs Sunday, March 30-Thursday, April 3 at Palm Beach, FL. I'm not sure what day the public will get to know what the compensatory picks are, but I'm thinking that it might be a few days into April.
Right now the mock is scheduled for 4/1. So my proposal is that we move this mock draft back a few days to account for the extra 32 picks are whatever that will actually happen.
This is my proposal only if Walter is interested. If not the way we have it is fine. I am trying to add a little more realism to it.
Feedback appreciated.
