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.

Martha Careful (21h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (21h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
