[RUMOR] Falcons to lose 2nd round pick

Welcome to the ATL Quinn

Really that's not that bad. This is like when they punished the pats with a first round pick when they had two first round picks.

That's actually a good thing... Mr. Irrelevant gets to choose a team that he has a better chance of sticking with.

good point

Does that mean our compensatory fifth round pick is no longer a sixth round pick because it is before where a sixth round pick would normally be at? Or is our fifth round pick still a sixth round pick because it is after the fifth round but before the sixth?

 

All comp picks stay where they are and in the round they are now. No other picks are affected besides Atlanta's.

 

It's like being in line for a roller coaster ride. The attendants have everyone in line to fill all the seats on the coaster, but someone chickens out and leaves the line. The attendants don't go and grab 1 person to take that spot, they just fill up the coaster with who's in the waiting area and leave the seat empty. That's what going to happen here. The Falcons pick is chickening out of the waiting area and not being replaced. The round will go with an empty spot and won't affect the next one. The next coaster (round of picks) will be normal.

As far as the slotted rate on the rookie pay scale goes, it will have a slight effect on that. If, for example, the Falcant's lose their 2nd round pick, everyone after them in that round only will move up 1 slot in the rookie pay scale. We'll be paying our rookie as the #24 pick in the 2nd round instead of the #25 pick in the 2nd round. Pick #32 in the 2nd (#64 overall) won't exist and we'll go straight from #63 overall to #65 overall in real life and on the rookie pay scale.

[Frank Hollywood]

Yeah, I agree with your sentiment, but everyone gets to move up a spot which essentially means that the only benefit that we're getting would be linked to whomever they would have picked

It means there will be one more player on the board when we pick. A great thing in the 2nd round.

Should be a first and a hefty fine for the GM.  This is pretty much as bad as spygate.  Willful acts to directly gain a cheating, unfair advantage should have the hammer dropped on them, not a medium sized slap on the wrist like a 2nd round pick.

The first round is too much of a TV bonanza. Wasn't going to happen.

lololololol dumbest reason ever to lose a second rounder- they weren't even a dominate home team

I'll take it though. There's quality talent in the early second Round. They get someone like Maxx Williams possibly falling to go along with their receivers and they have at least half a football team.

oh I'm certainly not complaining 

[stirs]

They will probably drop about 10 spots in the first and pick Gurley
