2018 Compensatory Picks
#26
(06-07-2017, 10:19 AM)ochocincos Wrote: I understand that, which is why it gets more frustrating to see proven players leave for the sake of getting a mid-late round comp pick that may or may not be any kind of solid O/D contributor (although in some cases like Sanu, I'm glad they left because IMO they got way overpaid). It just sucks that if such a good player like Zeitler leaves, the best return it can bring is the 97th pick in next year's draft. Zeitler was a first rounder, and it's very difficult to replace someone that talented with a third round comp pick (or worse).

That's true to an extent, but not all first rounders are equal and Zeitler was usually graded out as a 10-15 best guard and just got the biggest contract ever for the position and sometimes you hit on mid round guys like Atkins, Jones, Iloka and UDFA like Burfict and Erickson. You can't really fault the team for losing Zeitler or Sanu or even Jones. Both Zeitler and Sanu were grossly overpaid and Jones had the same offer from us, he just wanted to be the main guy. I think the one fault the front office had was letting Whit walk for 2-3 mil more than what they were willing to pay, but I get it, they want to see their young guys, it just might not work out that well. I guess we'll see this upcoming season.
