Rob Demovsky: 2016 Compensatory Picks

Two extra 4th round picks. Woo-hoo!

That's a pretty big double win. The two drafted guys are pretty solid and young. Tramon was a bit aged and Davon won was handed the freaking lottery by the Jaguars. All around, well played Packers, well played.

Some players taken around these picks ...

Mike Daniels 132nd
Jake Ryan 129th
Davon House 131st
Josh Sitton 135th

The Packers received two compensatory picks, both in the fourth round. They're Nos. 131 and 137 overall, the NFL announced today. The picks are compensation for losing cornerbacks Tramon Williams and Davon House in free agency last year.

5th overall highest compensatory pick for a player we easily replaced. Not bad.

What I have read about the NFL allowing compensatory picks to be traded seems to be conflicting.
On one hand I have read that they will allowed to be traded this spring (which is now) and on the other hand I have read that they will be allowed to be traded in 2017.
If it is this spring, I would wish for the Packers to use these extra picks in a trade package to move up in the draft to fill a position of need.
I believe that if there is a will, at 1265, to win championships, that the Packers are in need of quality over quantity as the Aaron Rodgers years wind down.

wow.

Definitely better than I expected.

I think the best news for Ted though is he now has more opportunity to replace several of these low tier FA's that probably won't get resigned with some quality players in the draft. He does pretty darn good in this part of the draft and to have 6 picks by the end of the 4th you know he's going to find some good players.

This is the beauty of the Ted Thompson approach right here. Of course he has to make something of them and actually draft well, but getting two 4th round picks for players like House and Tramon Williams is awesome. I would like Ted to dabble in free agency a little more, but not at the expense of these type of compensatory selections! Well played, indeed. Now draft another Mike Daniels and Sitton (or even Bacteria)!

To add to Z2C's list, here are all of Ted's 4th rounders, of the three we should get at least one stud and and one decent player. And don't forget there is probably a few guys Ted would have drafted if not for 3 guys leaving with the knowledge of Ted's draft board [Schneider, Dorsey and McKenzie] and snatched away some of those mid-round gems, like Jaye Howard. It is no coincidence that Schneider drafted him and Dorsey scooped him off waivers b4 Ted could. Dorsey was in the war room when Schneider plucked him and to this day no one knows for sure if Ted chortled, "that pencil dick" or "Gronk [with a glazed look on his face];" but Dorsey knew he had to try to get that guy.

I prefer solidifying the lineup prior to the season by all means available, instead of going into the season with holes in the roster.

beast (28m) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (4h) : meh

Zero2Cool (9h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (9h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (9h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (12h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (12h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (15h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (15h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
