Denver, KC, Seattle, win in 2017 compensatory picks

[oldunclemark]

      Because of the free agents they lost last season.

 

...Denver and KC get four extra draft choices in this year's draft...Denver has 10 picks....

If I'm reading this right....Seattle got two picks................both in the third round....

I like this rule..If other teams sign your guys, you get a shot a low round replacements.

 

[oldunclemark]

..and you can trade picks now..for the first time.../

, Seattle could come to us and say ...we want to switch No.1 draft positions with you.

...........and we'll give you an extra No. 3 for your trouble...

Denver got lot of compensatory picks but I think they actually lost, considering what could've been. If the cutoffs had been more favorable, if Okung contract would have counted as just 1 yr, 5M deal, they could've gotten

I'm still trying to figure out how New England is eligible to receive a compensatory pick for Michael Floyd.  They also chose not to keep Revis a couple years ago and received a pick.  I guess BB is the king of finding loopholes.

....Elway moved up in the 1st round the last 2 years using lower round picks..

.....Hard to consider 4 extra picks 'actually losing' under and analysis
