Panthers could get two 6th round compensatorys picks (maybe 7th)

"...This guy, who goes by AdamJT13 (efforts to ferret out his identity have been unsuccessful), knows his stuff. He's uncannily accurate at predicting a process the league won't reveal the formula for, but which is based on the salary and production of players who are signed away. As hobbies go, it's not quite ship-in-a-bottle building, but the guy's pretty good at it.

He and I bounced some emails back and forth last fall, and he thought then the Panthers might get a fifth and a sixth for losing C Geoff Hangartner and G Frank Omiyale, and possibly a seventh for losing KR Mark Jones.

After grinding through the final numbers, he's settled on a pair of sixths, with an outside chance of getting an extra seventh for Jones.

I'd recommend reading him, if only for a window into how the process works. The guy has put a lot of time in this, and he's much more accurate than any of the mock drafters you're going to find in the blogosphere.

At the moment, the Panthers have five picks: Their own second, third, fourth and seventh, and Oakland's sixth.

The first (17th overall) went to San Francisco for DE Everette Brown, the fifth to Kansas City for DT Tank Tyler and the sixth to Cleveland for DT Louis Leonard.

The Panthers should do much better on comp picks in '11, given the loss of DE Julius Peppers and more to come. The highest comp picks given are at the end of the third round, so it's easy to see the Panthers getting something in the high 90s next year, with more depending on who else follows Peppers out the door.

So do you think Richardson is letting Tyler Brayton walk just because he was a former first rounder/starter and we may be able to get a decent draft pick in compensation?

Are you thinking about next years draft then?
