It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I believe that Mallett is the kind of QB who will be given a legitimate shot at starting elsewhere because of his high ceiling (having a cannon arm will get you a legit tryout every time). That is why I doubt that we would only get a 7th if he walks- but neither do I think we would get a 3rd or 4th. I would be happy if the NFL management council awards us a 5th.
I can understand why many people think we'll net only a 7th because of a general mistrust of the NFL management (e.g., Goodell) and how they view the Patriots, but you'd be surprised to learn that we actually are 8th overall in the number of compensatory picks we've been awarded since the inception of the system in '94.
What??
They lose any chance to trade him after the training deadline as he is a FA. As for the comp pick, they maybe would get a 7th round pick for him. Not sure if BB right now wants a potential 2015 7th round pick more than he does an extra RB, DL, DB, or LB
a) Where dear friend is the room?
b) Have you NEVER heard of Sign & Trade? In cuts and FA, Houston has first call. Any other team must deal to move up. Meanwhile,Mallett is still the cheapest, well & fully trained, Backup QB alternative for 2014 for the Pats.
Beat me to it jmt. Draft order has no effect determining comp picks by any reference I've seen.
