DanteGabriel Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The compensatory draft picks got released today. Something like 11 extra third-round picks. Seems like a lot of teams got raided in free agency last year without bringing in many new guys. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/02/24/eleven-teams-get-compensatory-third-round-picks/ Also fielding suggestions for clever thread titles. I almost went with "Who's going home with Handsome Jimmy?" but chose to avoid the Pats-centric title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Niners now have an extra fourth round pick! Without Baalke around to take a DB/WR with an ACL injury there, I have no idea what they will do!

James Arryn Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 It's a poignant note to me that the 49ers talent exodus was so weird and varied in form that it (probably the greatest we have seen) goes out with a 4th round whimper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does bring a tear to the eye. We had been getting some comp picks in previous drafts too though. Interestingly, I just read on another site that comp picks are eligible to be traded this year. Usually you have to actually use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Wow... and I just saw that the Browns have two firsts, seconds and thirds as well as three fourths and two fifths. That's a ton of opportunity to waste picks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just do what Famous Jameis told you and sit there quietly while we have some man talk. Firm, yet reassuring. Also, I hope they got the shot they wanted on the first take. That smack had a real crack to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a ton of opportunity to waste picks! The extra third, I believe, should be going to New England for Jamie Collins (because of course Belichick will be the first to take advantage of tradeable compensatory picks). And maybe more, if Hue Jackson decides he likes the look of Handsome Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear I'm cursed. I have a brain that's geared for trivial pop culture references. God knows I've tried to come up with a way to market my talent, but I guess I'm just not creative enough (or industrious enough) to make it pay.

Nah, I'll keep Handsome Jimmy out of it. I almost went with "Arthur Blank is still waiting on the sideline" but thought that might be too cruel.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 @Rhom, I picked up a bottle of Four Roses over the weekend. It was really good, and not too expensive either. Solid suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Pesci Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Well the Steelers are throwing some cash around today. 4 year, $68 million extension for AB and franchise tag for Bell. I do like that the length of AB's deal is only 4 years, and not one of those 6 or 7 year deals that leave a nightmare cap scenario down the road.

KingintheNorth4 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 The Bears won't be putting the franchise tag on WR Alshon Jeffery. I'm guessing he's gonna hit free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
