It wasn’t the haul they’ve received in past years, but the Green Bay Packers didn’t come up completely empty in the compensatory draft pick department, either.

They were awarded an additional fifth-round pick on Friday, when the NFL announced the 32 compensatory selections in this year’s draft. The pick, which will be No. 39 in the fifth round and No. 184 overall, was to offset the loss of cornerback Casey Hayward in free agency last spring.

The Packers did not sign any free agents that would factor into the compensatory formula. Tight end Jared Cook did not count.

Since the current compensatory program began in 1994, the Packers have been awarded the second-most selections (38) behind the Baltimore Ravens (48).

It typically seems as if GB gives up or passes on players with more value than what they gain with the comp picks.

I would like to see the CBA drop comps all together. Keep your players or let them walk, the choice is up to each team.

Ok fine. Make the choice of who you keep and who you let go. I have no problem with that. But a team shouldn't be rewarded for not keeping a player that they no longer want. Let them truly be free agents without any strings attached.

Now this is an interesting and different subject. And the article I linked gives some information I hadn't thought about. Is the compensatory system unfair to teams, or players for that matter.

I'm not sure I agree with the article. It being easier and cheaper to obtain FA to improve their team should be beneficial to the worse teams. I also don't think compensatory compensation is much of a factor in determining if a FA will be retained or let hit the market. Using Casey Hayward as an example. I don't think Packers would have tried harder to keep him if the compensatory system didn't exist, and I don't think it has much impact on whether teams sign a FA either. If a team doesn't have a couple more late round picks, they are just going to sign a couple more UDFA, the difference in talent level once you get that deep isn't very great.

This year might be different though now since I believe comp picks can be used in trades.

Sorry I disagree. Whether he is right or wrong with how he chooses to stock the team, I think Ted is very aware of the comp pick factor and acts accordingly. He has let many players leave who were going to get paid close to their full value. He has consistently shied away from FAs that would lower the Packer's comp pick valuation.

I have no doubt if there was not a comp program some of the players he has let go over the past 12 years would have been re-signed.

Not that it matters but I read in another article that Tolzein's numbers according to the formula would have been enough for a 7th rounder but they only award 32 picks and he came in after that.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
