So are we expecting to get a comp pick, maybe a 3rd rounder, for Mario in next years Draft ?

I could never figure out their formula. All I know is that good teams like the Patriots, Colts and Steelers always managed to get a boatload of comp picks and my teams never got any.

I'm sure we'll get something for Mario (and Briesel) but wouldn't want to speculate on exactly what. There's never been a comp pick higher than the end of the third and the picks cannot be traded unlike the team's own picks.

Gonna be tough with his lack of production. Like Bob said, it is a stupid formula, but I believe production is a factor. We'll get something, but unless he picks up the pace, don't think it will be a 3rd.

I'm going to be super ticked if we don't get at least a #3 out of Mario. The NFL throws around these picks like they're nothing and I've seen teams get decent picks for far less when compared to Mario's supposed 'value'. I thought we got screwed on DRob's sup pick.

IIRC, the size of the contract counts more than the player's production. The fact the Bills spent a bunch of money (and Mario is complaining he is injured but the Bills won't put him on the injury report) on him probably is the key factor. Plus it subtracts the FAs the Texans signed.

I think a third is appropriate but the formula could come up with two 4ths or two 5ths instead.

I am thinking we are going to get a 3rd for Mario, a 5th for Briesel and a 7th for Allen. It is based on the contract, if the guy is considered an A, B, or C level FA which if I understand correctly has to do with being a starter a rotational guy or a backup.

The signing of James will be factored into the equation.

Also we get nothing for Winston who was a salary cap cut.

Just got done watching Quinton Patton work my Aggies over for 21 catches, 233 yards, and 4 TDs. Reminded me of a day that Larry Fitzgerald had against us years ago.

After doing some research I see that some places have him as a top 5 WR, and others have him as low as 20th. Seems like a 1st rounder after what I saw tonight.
