    The best teams in the NFL routinely acquire extra draft picks by letting their free agents sign with other teams. Here’s how compensatory draft picks work.

    A good explanation on how compensatory picks work. We have 3 in the next draft.

    NE claimed Floyd this year. We should have done that.

    I don’t really understand the salary cap or how certain decisions are made but it sure seems like letting McLeod and Jenkins walk was a mistake. IF they draft well, maybe they can get a talented player with the 3rd and 4th round picks they got for losing them. But that remains to be seen. They missed those guys this year. But I get that there is the reality of the cap so maybe there wasn’t much they could do.
