  1. NFL neefs to be more transparent on the exact reason a particular team gets a compensation pick. Like this team lost this guy so they deserve a pick in this round.
    Get rid of the Compensatory picks all together.

  2. You tards need to realise that compensatory picks are for COMPENSATION for loosing players not as a reward for being stupid and drafting like crap every year. Redskins moron Sean Taylor is dead. He didn’t go to another team via free agency. How stupid are you I mean a redskins fan is bad enough but to be stupid on a subject your complaining about is just full retard.

    • Vidvondre, how can you sit there and call people tards, morons and stupid when you don’t know the difference between lose and loose? That’s the idiot litmus test right there and you failed. I mean good God man, you probably say “supposably” instead of supposedly, am I right? Now go brush up and stop being such a d!ckhead.

    • You sem smart. Can you explain the compensatory system to me. I get the part about loosing players but who decides what the value is? How do they decide if it’s a 3rd, 4th, or whatever? My feeling is they should dump the whole co,pensation thing.

      • Wll I am probably not the best to explain it but basically it is based on the quality of players you lost to free agency. They have a grading system that is supposed to make it fair. I don’t know what that system is or how it works. Basically if you lose a top tier player due to free agency you get draft compensation for that player. I believe that a 3rd rounder is the best you can get but not positive. It is also based on the number of free agents you lose. The more you lose the more picks you get. Bear in mind 6th round comp picks are really all that useful except for camp bodies and special teams players so you don’t get true value for losing Ndamukong_Suh or Brock osweiller. But it is something to take some of the sting out of it.

        Not sure that helps but I tried.

      • Lol bro come on, compensatory are for FA lost to another team. Losing your draft picks,not because moron black kids killed the one person who tries to help them.

    • Where are my Panthers if it’s all the good teams. Seattle, Denver and new England get 3rd. Round picks.. BS rigged by Goodell

      • I can’t stand most of panther fans I mean if you cheer for then all year every year that’s fine bit to all bandwagon fans y’all’s opinion dosen’t matter.

        • Been a fan since their inaugural season, even with Delhomme’s meltdown(though he was never that good), Weinke, Clausen.. The missed kick and botched kickoff(helicopter?) I’m no bandwagon fan.. And they are legitimately a great team and routinely crapped on because of team history..I just pray we build on last year and actually bring one home!

        • I’d say maybe 25%, another 25% of NC peeps pull for Atlanta, 25% or so for big market popular teams (patriots, green bay, Denver.) I grew up in Charlotte and live in Durham.. Been in NC MY WHOLE LIFE so I would know what I’m talking about.. I’m all for new fans, bigger market, more media.. Maybe goodell will pull some strings for us then! Si climb on the bandwagon and bring it on in, I’ll get them educated on the team.

          • I’m a huge falcons fan I used to live in Georgia but live right near Greenville NC for the 13 yrs.its just annoying to listen to people talk crap especially when just a couple of yrs ago alot of them were B**ching about the contract Cam got and now all of a sudden they love him

          • I admit I wasn’t a fan of the moping, and towel over his face, and dissing his own team, but he has grown a lot, and developed well. Any Panthers fan that didn’t want him signed must not be a football fan, because he’s clearly a mega talent in the league.
