Colts awarded 3 comp picks: R-5 (170th overall), R-6 (206th overall) and R-7 (253rd overall).

Not bad..

Edit: We have the first and last pick in the draft (aka Mr. Irrelevant)

[CashMoney]

I dont know if this belongs in the draft section, feel free to move it...

Awesome, now if we can pay them with the cap issue. Fill a couple more backup spots as needed,

[Superman]

Better than I expected. Completely takes away the risk of trading down for Justice and Stanton (which actually nets us three players from one draft pick).

I assume that 7th round compensatory is a result of the balancing at the end of the draft. If there's any remainder left over after awarding compensatories, they give out more until they equal 32. So, if they gave out 25 compensatory draft picks, they'd give out 7 more to equal a total of 32 compensatory draft picks. And they do that in draft order, so in the 7th round, we'd get the first remaining compensatory draft pick.

Nice nice nice so we get 9 picks? Now? Plus the 2 players we traded for

One 1st, One 2nd, One 3rd, One 4th, Two 5ths, One 6th, Three 7ths. = 10 picks total

[Gavin]

for what?

[Happy2BeHere]

Sweet....

[chad72]

Probably for Clint Session, Charlie Johnson, and Bob Sanders???

[chad72]

For Session, CJ and Bob Sanders??? The 3 comp picks???

[Superman]

Bob Sanders was released. Session and CJ. I believe the third comp pick was a remainder pick.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_Draft#Compensatory_picks

If fewer than 32 such picks are awarded, the remaining picks are awarded in the order in which teams would pick in a hypothetical eighth round of the draft

We will take all that we can get.

Scouting rainman Grigs, make it work .

[The Peytonator]

Nice, lets see Grigs work some of that late round magic I've heard tell about.

[Brooklyn Colt]

7th rd pick is gonna get cut anyway

[Moncrief]

Now what order do comp picks get handed out for the draft order. Like we have the first pick in most rounds and we choose Mr. Irrelevant. Does that mean all of our comp picks are going to be the last comp pick

[MTC]

Colts released Bob Sanders, who we dont get a comp pick for him. I am guessing since we were the worst team in the league last season we were awarded an extra pick.

[chad72]

7th rd pick is gonna get cut anyway

I would seriously hate to be that pick . You are this close to at least being able to choose your team if any team is interested as a UDFA.

[Superman]

That pick could turn into another Kavell Conner, who was also a 7th round comp pick. Don't take any picks for granted.

[Jason_]

could have definitely been worse. I'm just glad that signing Sims, Anderson and Brayton didn't off-set the losses of Session and Johnson.

[MTC]

Next year we can get comp picks for Saturday, Tamme, Garcon, Anderson, possibly Phillip Wheeler.

[Jason_]

here is the NFL.com article that has all of the picks. Also, there were 2 "left-over" compensatory picks that were given to St. Louis and Indy.

Good to know we qualified for some crumbs, LOL .

Woah now, don't get too ahead of yourself. I doubt we get anything for Anderson. He didn't count against us for this year so I doubt we get anything for him next year. We might get a late round pick for Tamme but I wouldn't hold my breath. Same goes for Wheeler assuming we don't re-sign him.

Anyone catch the contract details for Saturday's deal with Green Bay?

**edit, and here's the link I forgot to include in my last post. lol

[RomanianColtsFan]

No, they got the picks only for Johnson and Session. Apparently it's not just about the net number of free agents lost but also about the value.

It looks like Johnson playing all 16 games as a starter for the Vikings was the most important factor.

We also signed a bunch of them too, FAs, didnt we? That probably has to be weighted against it.

[UndecidedFrog]

I would rather take the crumbs and say thank you very much, than have no crumbs at all.

[Busta]

UDFA's are the crumbs.

It all comes down to which players qualify as a compensatory free agent. I think technically we signed more free agents last year than we lost but the FA's we signed didn't qualify as compensatory so they didn't counter against losing Session and Johnson. To be honest, I wasn't sure either Session or Johnson would qualify as compensatory so I wasn't sure we'd get anything other than the crumbs so I'm content with the picks we got.

[UndecidedFrog]

UDFA's are the crumbs.

UDFAs are not tied to sign with your team, whereas draft picks are.

As of right now, I doubt we get any next year. Not unless a couple of our guys that have walked in free agency blow up next season. In other words, in the unlikely event that Jacob Lacey becomes a Pro Bowler.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

One 1st, One 2nd, One 3rd, One 4th, Two 5ths, One 6th, Three 7ths. = 10 picks total

COOL NOW DRAFT WELL GRISSION

[BlueStallion]

Does anyone have a link to the draft order showing pick numbers for every team in all seven rounds, including compensatory picks? It gets more confusing when you factor in teams that forfeited a draft pick, like the Saints and Raiders.

[Smonroe]

We get Mr. Relevant (#1) and Mr. Irrelevant (#253)!

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

I would seriously hate to be that pick . You are this close to at least being able to choose your team if any team is interested as a UDFA.

Not necessarily we need guys to fill out our roster. heck maybe a return or ST guy.

I think we'd definitely get one for Garcon unless we signed someone to off-set him. As of now though, I don't think any of the new guys brought in would offset him though but could definitely be wrong. I'm not sure about Saturday because I don't know the terms of his contract, which is why I asked earlier. If it was just a one year deal, which is what I'd expect, then we probably wouldn't get anything for him.

As far as I understand, they weigh the number of free agents you lose against the number of free agents you sign, and only if you come out in the negative do they start looking at the quality of free agent you lose or sign.

I could be wrong, but with the amount of activity we've had in free agency, it really wouldn't surprise me if we don't get any comp picks next year. I'll be pleasantly surprised if we do.

[Andy]

Awesome! We didn't get a 4th round pick, but we got a 5th 6th + 7th. That's 3 extra picks. I guess Session's very good season helped give us some good picks.

[Captain Americolt]

Sweet. 1st overall and last overall picks. I wonder how it will be with Andrew Luck and the last guy drafted, especially if hes a qb too

[21isSuperman]

7th rd pick is gonna get cut anyway

Not necessarily. You can still find some good impact players in the later rounds
