That would be with us getting a 3rd for Golden, 4th for Browner, Percy, 5th for Giac and 6th for C-Mac.

Somerset, what would it look like worst case scenario?
Oh he was those things for the Jets? Because I haven't heard thatTorontoHawk":1lngluyg said:Hawkfan77":1lngluyg said:Great news. Cutting him never made sense to me. Hopefully they make it work
How did it not make sense? The guy was a cancer and not a team player. Look at our record once he was gone that should make sense of it.

Tate=4

Nothing for McDonald/Thurmond
Hawks did not make any gains in free agency so there is nothing to offset any compensatory picks. The Kevin Williams signing doesn't count because of the date he was signed. Also the max amount of compensatory picks a team is allowed is 4.dontbelikethat":3ejte0zf said:Hawkfan77":3ejte0zf said:1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5,6,7BigMeach":3ejte0zf said:SomersetHawk":3ejte0zf said:Ok, so the most optimistic forecast of our draft picks looks like: 1,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,6,7.

Did we sign anyone big to offset any of those picks? Does re-signing your own free agents off set any picks?
If we can get those extra picks, that would be awesome.

I was going off of what Schneider said on 710 ESPN (I believe) when he mentioned having 10 picks depending on the compensatory processSomersetHawk":2rz36vw7 said:Hawkfan77":2rz36vw7 said:1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5,6,7BigMeach":2rz36vw7 said:SomersetHawk":2rz36vw7 said:Ok, so the most optimistic forecast of our draft picks looks like: 1,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,6,7.

Even if we get nothing for McDonald and Thurmond, McQuistan should net a 7th. And if he somehow doesn't, then Maragos will.

Yeah it was confusing to me as well. I thought it was basically a done deal that the Hawks would get the full 4 comp picks. And I still think they do. Who knows, maybe it was a slip of the tongue.SomersetHawk":1m60092o said:Hawkfan77":1m60092o said:I was going off of what Schneider said on 710 ESPN (I believe) when he mentioned having 10 picks depending on the compensatory process
That's cool. Who am I to suggest Schneids is wrong, but on the face of it we have 7 guys who would qualify for comp picks this year. It's up in the air about whether McDonald met the deadline, and Thurmond didn't play, but McQuistan and Maragos have contracts that would give us 7th round comps.
I don't know where he got 10 from, obviously something's amiss.

I'm still holding out hope for a 3rd for Tate and a 4th for Browner :th2thumbs:

SomersetHawk":11fm4upk said:Yeh, we'll probably be screwed out of the 3rd and 4th by the NFL's 'secret formula' but given that Tate just had himself a pro bowl year and Brandon Browner made a play that contributed to us losing the Super Bowl we should be getting to 3rds. No doubt it will be a 4th and a 5th though. Still, we'll probably pick some future all-pros there.
Bigbadhawk":2fl4zmqu said:The reason why we could end up with only 3 as Schneider feels is there are a max of 32 comp picks a year (1 for every team). Lets say due to the quality of comp picks on the list our 4th highest is the 33rd name on the list, well we would be out of luck due to the cutoff at 32. Its just not the quality of the guys we lost vs what we gained but its also the rest of the league and how the comp list plays out.
If there was no max limit of comp picks for the teams combined then sure we would have 4 no matter what. I hope that helps clear up some confusion on why there is a chance we could only end up with 3 this year.
