Supplemental picks don't get awarded per se.

Compensatory picks will be announced omorrow though, and the thinking is that we will get a 4th.

There's been talk that we could get as high as a fourth. Now of course, thats at the VERY end of the fourth round, but still a great chance to get a developmental player.

 

Still, thats one more round of ammo for us, it gives us a better chance to have a good haul of rookies.

 

One blog that employs a method they supposedly learned from another guy who was infamous for his accuracy in predicting compensatory picks says we're getting a 4th for Kendall Langford.

The major tenets of consideration are the following:

1. Player must have had an expiring contract, can't be a cut. On the bright side, if you sign a guy that was cut, it doesn't count.

2. Player must make more than $1 million a year.

3. Players lost will be sorted by contract values. From top to bottom a player lost will be canceled out by a player gained that makes as much or more than the player lost.

4. Player must have made the Week 1 roster.

5. Once you've isolated a player that fits the above criteria and was not canceled out by a signing, the round of the pick received will be dictated by contract value, playing time and post season honors.

The last part is what I think is obviously the trickiest. But the blog says Langford should draw a 4th rounder.

 

Is it sad that Im giddy with anticipation to find out if we'll get another 4th rounder? :bag:

 

I know this, the Mike Wallace ($12 mil/yr) signing is going to cancel out the Jake Long loss ($9 mil/yr) next off season. So don't go thinking we're necessarily going to get a great pick because we lost Jake Long to a big contract.

In fact, I doubt we get anything. Dannell Ellerbe cancels out the loss of Sean Smith ($6 mil/yr) because Ellerbe's contract is greater ($7 mil/yr). Wheeler cancels the loss of Anthony Fasano ($4.0 mil/yr). Keller cancels the loss of Reggie Bush ($4.0 mil/yr). We still don't know what Brandon Gibson's contract will be worth, but I imagine it'll cancel Tony McDaniel whenever he signs.

We'll see if Nate Garner gets above $1 million a year, but as I assume we're not done with free agency ourselves...I do not expect a compensatory pick next year.

 

Karlos Dansby?

 

He was cut so he wouldn't count.
