OTC projects 2-3rds, a 6th and a 7th round comp picks for 2019

[Peachhead]

Today ends the period where free agents impact the comp pick calculations. Over The Cap projects we get a 3rd for losing Solder, a 3rd for Butler, a 6th for losing Dion Lewis and a 7th for Cameron Fleming.

2019 Compensatory Draft Picks Update (5/8/2018) | Over the Cap

 

[FortressX]

Excellent.
The Pats should be able to turn that haul into a bunch of 6th rounders in 2020.

Me, six weeks ago:

Patriots comp pick watch

The best-case scenario for the Pats, as of today, is two 3s and two 6s. I'll be a bit less optimistic right now, and predict two 3s, a 6, and a 7.

you are going to go on IR with a dislocated shoulder for patting yourself on the back.

Yeah I predicted that too in a conversation I had three weeks ago in real life.

 

[Boston Boxer]

I will predict it tomorrow

There must be something of value in 2019, cause NE owns 2703273 picks.

That would give the Pats 12 picks with six picks in the first three rounds. No way the Pats use all those picks. Question will be will this be the year they use draft capital to move up, possibly for that QB to replace Brady or will they continue to trade into future years? I guess that is something to be discussed about 10-11 months from now.

we will have less draft capital in 2019 than we had in 2018

More picks, but lower slots and thus less cumulative value, for those wondering.

And the Pats didn't use all those picks in 2018. They traded some of them away.

 

[IcyPatriot]

A 2nd or 3rd will be traded by the 3rd pre season game for a player who be better here than they were there.

 

[captain stone]

Is 4 comp picks the most that can be awarded to any one team in any one year?

 

[Dexter]

Yep.

This makes the extra 3rd we acquired in the last draft for 2019 much more expendable.

We could ship that pick off for a nice extra defensive piece.

We traded a 3rd in 2019 for Shelton. So we have two Comp 3rds and five picks in the top three rounds.

Unless we trade Shaq Mason, a distinct possibility depending on how our other Interior OL men play (at the end of TC). An alternative would be a trade for another player.

The Pats also picked up Detroit's 3rd rounder next year.
