Can anyone confirm that these are our picks? 1st. 27th 2nd. 25th 3rd. 27th 4th. 27th 5th 27th 6th. 27th 7th. 27th What are we possibly looking at for compensation picks? Is there a specific date they'll announce the compensation picks?
Yes, that's the order barring any trades. Even though the Texans pick 25th in the second round it is still considered the 27th pick. The NFL counts the Cleveland and New Orleans picks even though they are forfeited. The Texans should receive one, two or maybe three compensatory picks. Those will be announced next week at the owners meeting, most likely on Monday.
Texans "should" get a third and either a 5th or 6th. Nothing guaranteed, nothing certain until it's announced.
hopefully mario is a third, as it should be. He signed a HUGE contract and did play pretty well down the homestretch.
To clear up a few things about comp picks (although I am no expert): 1. Comp picks are rewarded based on your free agent losses on a NET basis. Therefore, if you lose a Mario Williams level player but then gain a Wes Welker level player, it is possible you wouldn't even get a comp pick. 2. You can receive a max of 4 comp picks 3. Comp picks are only rounds 3-7 at the end of the round (although I cannot confirm this, but they never award higher comp picks) 4. The total amount of comp picks awarded will always be 32 (although they can be distributed to any number of teams)
We signed minimum contract guys (Donnie Jones, Ball, James, Forsett). They don't count in the formula for compensation.
