Compensatory picks are in

The 7th rounders will just be fresh bodies to throw around in Training Camp. Skins don't usually seem to keep the 7th rounders, but considering we got Cooley in the 3rd, I'm definitely psyched about getting an additional 3rd rounder. Probably get slammed for saying this, but I can't help but think if we could trade both our 3rd rounders for a good 2nd round pick. Seems there's depth in the first two rounds for some of the positions we're looking to get some youth at (WR, CB, DE), and with a 1st and two 2nd's, we could add some serious talent to the squad. Having said all this, don't see Cerrato making any big moves before the draft. Seems like he's genuinely content with the roster the way it is heading into draft weekend.

As was stated earlier in the thread - we can't trade the compensatory picks.

We should trade some of those compensatory picks to try to pick up a 2nd.

All in all, I hope we have a great draft. My favorite part has been when we pick up local talent and they make the team. And we'll probably pick up someone good that's a training camp drop.

If we do trade up, and I dont mean our compensatory picks, I hope it is for descent talent. As a fan for life I am a little gun shy around this front office. For the most part I feel confident. The draft is like an automatic assault rifle and draft pics are like bullets. When you have more bullets, you have a better shot at hitting you target, but you dont have to aim very well. With fewer, you take time to aim better because you cannot afford to miss. We need to treat this draft like we only have 3 total picks. So far the approach in the FA has been to my liking, and the risks taken will yeild great rewards if we draft well.

Every other team is hardly that successful w/the draft. Often, not even half of draft picks make a team. If all draft picks made their teams every year there'd be hardly any vets around.

I didn't think I needed to put the sarcasm tags around my post. I guess I was wrong.

It is basically the first 4th round pick, but tell that to his agent.

It is still the 96th pick though. A chance to land one of the top 100 college players in the country who will have a legitimate shot to make this roster and contribute. It's a gift for a free agent former skins who performed well. We can thank Buffalo for giving Dockery a huge contract, and we can thank Dock for staying healthy and playing well for them.

I said it before, but bottom line is that makes 4 picks in the first 3 rounds. Good stuff.

We should trade some of those compensatory picks to try to pick up a 2nd.

Hey hey! Don't make me get out my can of whoopass!

Let's hope we do a little better than the last time we had this many picks:

2002
1(32) Patrick Ramsey
2(56) Ladell Betts
3(79) Rashad Bauman (CB)
3(87) Cliff Russell (WR)
5(159) Andre Lott (DB)
5(160) Robert Royal
6(192) Reggie Coleman (OT)
7(230) Jeff Grau (TE)
7(234) Greg Scott - (DE)
7(257) Rock Cartwright

thank you, a perfect example of why we shouldn't get too excited about this draft. Danny has shown that he's capable of messing up just about anything and this year will be no different. I can only imagine how many wasted picks we'll end up with. We need a real GM!! Where are you Bobby Beathard?!

Yeah I'm pretty sure DS hasn't learned anything in the 6 years since that draft. Go look at our drafts under Gibbs compared to our drafts without him, there's a huge difference. I'm excited to have this many picks under our belt, and even though odds are slim we'll find the next Marques Colston in the 7th round, there is no harm in having two extra picks in that round.
