Draft picks? How many we have?

Did I read somewhere that we have 3 or 4 comp picks also???? Could be a great year to reload both lines

We have 6 of our own picks. Compensatory picks aren't announced till the owners meeting in March. Current projection is 3 comps for a total of 9.

• Round 1: Own pick (26th overall)
• Round 2: Own pick
• Round 3: Own pick, projected comp. pick (Maxwell)
• Round 4: Own pick
• Round 5: Projected comp. pick (Carpenter), own pick traded to KC (McCray)
• Round 6: Projected comp. pick (Smith), own pick traded to DET (Seisay)
• Round 7: Own pick, additional pick acquired from DAL (Michael)

^^ The way they wrote it at that link makes it needlessly confusing IMO, as it's putting the Seahawks picks, comp picks, picks they picked up and picks they traded away all together.

Cleaner IMO is to just say they've got a pick in each round of 1 through 7 plus a second pick in round 3 and a second pick in round 7.

Looks pretty straight forward to me. Each round is listed with what we have and what we've traded away and what we expect to get. Currently it's as accurate as we can get this far in advance and it's pretty easy to understand.

2 3rd's is awesome. We can either use both or watch Schneider work his magic.

The Seisay and McCray picks look even better now seeing this. I suppose JS projects the comp picks early and knows he can play around with those picks.

Yeah I thought the same thing.

Schneider hasn't made his annual bad trade with our 1st rounder so that needs to be taken into account.

Especially the McCray trade. A solid backup safety and core special teamer is really good value with a 5th.

How many picks?

I just hope we take a blocking TE even if JG revovers. How about:

Nick Vannett, TE, Ohio State
Height: 6-6. Weight: 260.
Projected 40 Time: 4.88.
Projected Round (2015): 3-5.
1/9/16: In 2015, Vannett had 19 receptions for 162 yards. Ohio State favors throwing to its receivers, but Vannett could contribute some to the passing game as a Y tight end in the NFL. He is a strong blocker and was an asset in the Buckeyes' ground game.

1st
2nd
3rd
3rd comp (projected) via Maxwell
4th
5th comp (projected) via Carpenter
6th comp (projected) via Malcolm Smith
7th C-Mike trade w/Dallas
7th
----
9 picks in total.

Should be fairly close to actual overall pick #'s in the upcoming draft.
#26, #56, #90, #98, #125, #172, #215, #223 & #245. -- This is before any trades up or down by PC/JS.

Rd. 1/#26-overall
Rd. 2/#56-overall
Rd. 3/#90-overall
Rd. 3/#98-overall (comp pick)
Rd. 4/#125-overall
Rd. 5/#172-overall (comp pick)
Rd. 6/#215-overall (comp pick)
Rd. 7/#223-overall (Dallas trade)
Rd. 7/#245-overall

Tyler Higbee... Big time sleeper pick in this draft if you're looking at TEs. He's a natural receiver that's better at running routes, catching in traffic, running after the catch and he's better at sealing off defenders when he blocks. I'd take him over Vannett. Vannett physically looks like a prototype TE for the NFL and shows some ability, but Higbee is an NFL ready TE.
