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

*Updated 

 

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.

Josh Norman (Signed by Washington) Value rd3 

Jericho Cotchery

Roman Harper

Amini Silatolu

Charles Tillman

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?

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

    • Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
