It is amazing how the most successful teams in the draft and on the field are getting the most compensatory picks.
I am glad we changed course and are no longer the best at signing overpriced FA's and bullshitting the cap. It is about time we learned from the successful teams and followed their lead. It took Danny 10 years to figure it out. Better late than never.

The best teams tend to focus on the draft and they know when to let their guys walk when they are looking for the big pay day.

Or their most productive days are behind them. Older players tend to be more injury prone and miss more time. In general.

Now all he has to learn is to sit in the owners office and stop pestering people who are actually helping the team. Enough with the photos of him sitting right between Shanny & Allen at the combine.

The Bengals did the best with a 3rd and 4th rounder ,and the Patriots got more ammo to be able to move around like always. Well maybe the Skin will get a pick next year ,lol .

Yeah, I did not notice that. A 3rd and a 4th in this deep draft is huge. Teams drafting behind them are bitching. Dan is cursing Vinny's photo.

I might be wrong, but I think you only get compensatory picks if another team signs your FA.?.? Releasing them does not count.?.? I think.
