Cearbhall Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Just now, SteelKing728 said: Signing a depth CB to potentially lose a 3rd round pick seems like a really bad move by KAM. I'd rather have signed Tre White to see if he has anything left in the tank. Since he was cut, he wouldn't count in the formula. Let's see how it all shakes out before casting any stones. There is a long way to go before anything is set in stone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 It's often futile to contemplate the potential of a compensatory pick (which is at the end of the round anyway) in evaluating moves to improve the team to compete in the current year. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Have any of the comp picks over the last 3-4 years done anything in the NFL? I ask because it seems that a bit too much stock is put into obtaining comp picks. Are they nice? Yes. Do I see them as particularly valuable in a pure value standpoint? Not really. I guess they are more valuable now that they can be traded. But I wouldn’t alter my roster building this year because I might lose a comp pick next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they are essentially 4th round picks.....which have a very low chance of ever contributing much. That last part is key. A bird in the hand, afterall.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly...but, I'm not going to worry about that as in regards to a player that can contribute today. I can't speak for all teams, but I imagine that those that generally accumulate comp picks are those that have depth on their roster today that can pick up for those that leave. The Vikings don't have that luxury currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I seem to recall saying that I wouldn't count on the 3rd round picks until we were awarded them 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understanding and utilizing the comp formula is setting aside time to analyze results. If we end up losing a Day 2 pick next year for a depth CB, it's a terrible move by our GM. The reason we don't have a lot of depth at some positions on the roster was because this same GM completely blew the 2022 draft. Don't get me wrong, I think KAM has a vision for this team, and I think he's done well trading for Hockenson and drafted much better in the 2023 draft. However he's made some questionable moves that can, or already have negatively impacted the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they want to see if Flores can work his magic with him and if not cut him before the deadline 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I lost a job opportunity that potentially could have paid me more next year (I don't know if it would or not as it's not guaranteed), but doing so right now would have made me homeless because I needed to pay rent this month, is that a terrible move?

SemperFeist Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 If you think Griffin was signed as a depth CB, you’re not paying attention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
