I doubt this is what McCarron would bring as a compensatory pick. The value is what his contract would be, and since he would be done with his rookie contract, teams could sign him long term....unless there are very high-end WRs, DEs, etc out there as well, you would think a FA QB would be in the top 8 of contracts and that would make him a third round compensatory pick.
Which brings another key reason to not trade him for anything less than a very high 2nd, or a middle 2nd and 4th if the odds are that you would get a 3rd or 4th round compensatory and you have the security of having him the entire year.
