Projecting the 2016 Compensatory Draft Picks
Posted on January 5, 2016 by Nick
For details on the basics and methodology of projecting compensatory picks in general, please reference this article.
To kick this off, 2016 marks the first year in which I have used, as suggested by the resolution allowing comp picks to be traded on December 2, 2015, a “rank[ing] against all players in the League who are on rosters at the end of the season”. At the end of the 2015 season, OTC’s database had a total of 2088 players that were either on the active roster or injured reserve. As explained in the general methodology in the previous link, the cutoffs for each round and for qualifying as a compensatory free agent (CFA) have been established by this projection on certain percentile ranks of all players on the active roster and injured reserve at the end of the regular season, sorted by adjusted APY in descending order and also represented by the player at the cutoff point. For 2016, these cutoffs are as follows:
This is for 2016 comp picks, but it will give some kind of idea of what the Rams might expect next year in comp picks if they lose a player like Jenkins. The Rams have no comp picks this year. The article is much more detailed if you wish to use the link. If Jenkins gets more than 9M/yr, we could get a 3rd round comp pick. imo
