A look at 2017 Compensatory Picks (Updated 5/19)

As we enter FA, I always find the compensatory pick strategy interesting.  I know the Panthers front office takes this into account when signing and releasing players. 

 

Current Panther CFAs and their status.

Jericho Cotchery

Roman Harper

Amini Silatolu

Charles Tillman

Fernando Velasco (Non-qualifying UFA)

Cortland Finnegan.

Gino Gradkowski (Qualifying UFA) Value rd7

Paul Soliai (Released)

Trenton Robinson (Released)*

Michael Palardy (Released)

I'm not thinking we're going to have much shot at comp picks next year.

Cotchery & Harper I assume are both gone, but I'm not positive they'll be signed by anyone else.  Same with Tillman.  If he's not with us, doubt he'll be with anyone.  Same with Finnegan.

Frank Alexander won't be signed by anyone given that he's suspended through late November.

Green - I know nothing about how he's recovered from injury.  Assume he'll be let go.  Don't know if he's done or not.

Tolbert, Silatolu, Velasco, Nortman - I'm thinking we're quite likely to resign all of them.  If any of these go, these would be the most likely to get us comp picks.

Webb, Love - I consider LOCKS for us to resign.  If for any reason we can't reach a deal, then yes, they would be signed and could help us get comp picks.

Utilizing the draft or the free agency period to stock the team has been a weak point for the Panthers. They actively do not maintain the roster necessary to farm compensatory picks.

I doubt the Panthers will see a compensatory pick for several of the upcoming drafts. The Panthers do not farm enough players in the draft and they have a difficult time signing key free agents of value to compete for the comp picks.

When a team has to sign players off the street, trade for vets ready to retire, trade for young projects mid season, and scrape up less than effective practice squad players to fill key spots on the depth chart in an effort to stay competitive for the playoffs, then that team has an ineffective system in the off season.

The Panthers have more roster turnover during the season than any other NFL team over the past 3 season (the last 2 have been really bad).

Thankfully, the Panthers have some of the best players in the NFL at their given positions to carry the team and make up for the inadequacies of the Panthers depth.

Wow. That is some quality bs right there. I know some farmers who would pay good money for that much fertilizer. 

You really wear your disdain for Gettleman right out on your sleeve don't you? Did he beat you up as a child?

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
