Compensentory Picks

[Carolina Crazy V2]

If a team without any first round picks signed Peppers, where would our picks be? We're supposed to get two first rounders so would they be at the bottom of the first round or where?

Same goes for RFAs. If you don't have a second round pick, could you not sign a Level 4 RFA or whatever it is just because you don't have the picks?

Thanks in advance

They would give us their next 2 1st rounders if they signed Peppers to a contract and the Panthers didn't match. Where those 1st rounders are would depend on the team that signed Peppers.

We would get the picks that the team that traded with us agreed on sending us if it's a trade.

I guess that means if Dallas signed Pepp to an offer sheet, then the Panthers would get Dallas' no. 1 pick in 2010 and 2011.

BTW, the term 'compensatory pick' is used for extra picks given to teams who lose players to free agency, not the draft picks given up for signing a franchise player.
