Projecting the comp picks

PrintThought I'd throw this up, paying particular attention to the Seahawks. This guy has been doing this for years and is pretty good at projecting the formula the NFL uses for comp picks. I'll paraphrase a bit for those of you who hate reading. He only projects a seventh rounder:
SEVENTH ROUND
Seattle (Floyd Womack, $950,000, 13/9)
As you know, our last offseason went something like this:
SEATTLE
Lost: Rocky Bernard, Maurice Morris, Leonard Weaver, Floyd Womack
Signed: T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Colin Cole, John Owens
Notice that some of these cancel each other out, although it might not play out exactly like this. The league could decide values a little differently. Later in the article:
If Bobby Engram qualifies, Seattle will receive a seventh-round comp pick for him immediately before its comp pick for Floyd Womack.
If John Owens does not qualify, Seattle will receive a seventh-round comp pick for Leonard Weaver, between Tennessee's comp picks for Eric King and Daniel Loper.
If Floyd Womack does not qualify, Seattle will not receive a comp pick for him.
Anyway, read through the whole article. AdamJT13 knows what he's talking about and I guarantee you'll learn something about the vague compensatory pick process.
The whole thing got me thinking about last year's free agent period. Looking at the acquisitions and with hindsight now available, do you think it was a good offseason? Bad offseason? Where could we have better spent our money?

Is that how they do it?
I thought they just threw darts at a dart board.
Give me an offensive line or give me death!
That's absurd.
They use the Sorting Hat.
All The Way, AIRBORNE!!!

I approve of any and all Harry Potter references.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I do not believe they did.
Talents that I covet:
Ndamukong Suh, Gerald McCoy, Sam Bradford, Mike Iupati, Golden Tate, Earl Thomas, and Freddie Barnes

doubt it
even if Hutch was eligible under the formula (since he was tagged) it would’ve been balanced out by us signing Julian Peterson.
The system isn’t really based on how good a player is, it’s more or less based on the total dollar amounts of FA’s lost vs. FA’s signed.

Leonard Weaver got the highest FB contract of all time didn't he?
I would think that would make him worth more then a 7th rounder. Though I guess it probably doesn’t take that into account.
Now with more lemon bars!
The formula seems to value a players salary very highly.
But they’re only accounting for the 1 year, 1.75 million contract he signed last year.
Which gives him more than a long snapper...
but less than a punter

If only KC had cut Engram a week later...
I’m gonna feel hosed if we get a pick from Womack and not one from Engram. They may be 7th round picks, but it’s the principle of the thing.
So if things remain the same, Seattle could get a 3rd round comp pick for Nate going to Detroit?
Something to look forward to next year.
I was just thinking about this
If the ’Hawks lay low in free agency, they should get decent compensation for Burleson.
Although if his contract is 5/$25, I think he’ll end up netting a 4th-round pick (at the end of the round, obviously). Still, not a bad consolation for letting him walk.
If I'm reading this right
If Womack doesn’t qualify, we’ll bump down to the last non-comp pick. We’d be picking Mr. Irrelevant, awesome!
(comp picks are not set up to be very interesting for us this season)
Awesome read btw, thanks
Nice. Good detail in the article.
I have to wonder why John Owens would qualify, but that’s really my only Seahawk-related question.
