Agreed. A third-round pick for a minority executive is both too much reward, while not being enough for teams to hire someone they otherwise wouldn't have. Feels pointless. Either make it like a fifth-rounder or make the Rooney Rule more punitive.
IMO...there aren't enough Asians anywhere in the NFL ; on or off the field. They are 7% of the U.S. population , for gawds sake . Give them a break...they can be taught football later ; plus think about the comps .

Yeah, but I don't like that other teams are better at it.
The Rooney rule served it's purpose by now..I don't see the NBA or MLB needing this rule btw.
Why not then apply this same logic to players on the field? We have too many players with dark skin, we should award cap incentives for hiring white and Asian players. Only fair right? You know, for diversity.
There is definitely some absurdity to the calculation. If you sign a player whose contract has expired then that player counts towards the formula FOR his previous team and AGAINST your team. If you sign a player whose contract was terminated it doesn't count towards the formula for his previous team, (and rightly so), and since it doesn't count for them it doesn't count against you. That bit is the bit that's contentious. Signing Diggs or Adams won't count against a team that signs them. Signing Brooks would count for you and against the team that signs them, (because they've taken him away from you). Most of the compensatory picks aren't valuable enough to be concerned about.
. Potentially there are 4th, 5th, and 6th round picks heading your way in 2025 if you don't sign FAs that will counteract those losses.Ridiculous isn’t it? The whole idea is a sham just to make people feel good
