Ravens, Bengals clean up on compensatory picks

The annual collectors of compensatory picks are at it again.
The Ravens received three extra picks Monday, adding a pair of fourth-rounders and a fifth when the league finalized the draft order.
The Ravens have always drafted well, which keeps them from having to spend in free agency. Then when their guys leave for greener pastures, they rake in the extra picks to restock and start the process all over again.
Comp picks are awarded based on net free agency gains and losses from the previous year.
By avoiding unrestricted free agents (signing guys who were cut by teams doesn’t impact the formula), Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome is able to hoard the mid- to late-round picks the league doles out.
The other big winner was the Bengals, who gained an extra third and a fourth after losing defensive end Michael Johnson and tackle Anthony Collins as unrestricted free agents last year. Both were signed by the Bucs, both were cut after one year, and Johnson has since re-signed with the Bengals.
The Patriots and Chiefs also gained third-rounders.
The NFL announced the full list Monday night, at the conclusion of the day’s business at the owners meetings. Here’s a look at the full list, with round and overall pick number:
3-97, New England
3-98, Kansas City
3-99, Cincinnati
4-132, San Francisco
4-133, Denver

In a couple years were going to be able to rake in comp picks like this or better.With all the talent on this team now and in the future resigning everyone we would like to keep will be very hard.In the meantime I'll take that 6th round pick this year,never know where or when you could find a diamond in the rough.

Rams awarded extra draft pick, in sixth round
• By Jim Thomas
http://www.stltoday.com/sports/foot...cle_23d17a35-473b-5901-8799-877d5315b2f6.html
PHOENIX • Last year, the Rams were pleasantly surprised to receive three compensatory draft picks from the league. This year, the Rams expected to get only one extra pick — a sixth-rounder — and that’s exactly what they got.
The NFL awarded 32 compensatory picks Monday, with those being distributed from the end of the third round to the end of the seventh. New England, Kansas City and Cincinnati got the highest picks — each getting a third-round selection.
The complicated formula takes into account salary, playing time and postseason honors (if any) of free agents lost and gained by a team in their first season with their new club.
A year ago, the Rams lost quarterback Kellen Clemens, offensive guard Shelley Smith, safety Darian Stewart and guard/tackle Chris Williams in free agency.
Cornerback Cortland Finnegan didn’t count in the formula because he was a released player by the Rams as opposed to an unrestricted free agent.
Conversely, the Rams signed wide receiver Kenny Britt, defensive tackle Alex Carrington and quarterback Shaun Hill a year ago in free agency.
The net result of those transactions yielded the Rams an extra sixth-rounder, No. 215 overall. That leaves the team with six picks in this year’s draft: one pick each in Rounds 1-4, the sixth-round compensatory pick and a seventh-rounder.
Last year, the Rams used their three compensatory picks for quarterback Garrett Gilbert (Round 6, No. 214 overall); defensive end Michael Sam (Round 7, No. 249); and center Demetrius Rhaney (Round 7, No. 250).
Gilbert is now with New England, Sam is out of the league but trying to get back in as evidenced by his participation Sunday in the NFL Veterans Combine and Rhaney still is with the club after missing all of last season because of a knee injury.
STATUS QUO
All it takes is one phone call to change things, but as the NFL owners meetings began Monday, the Rams weren’t expecting any activity on the offensive line front in free agency.
The Rams need starters at center, guard and right tackle.
Joe Barksdale, the team’s starting right tackle the past two seasons, has yet to make a decision and doesn’t appear to have garnered a ton of interest during a free-agency period punctuated by his marriage and honeymoon.
Two outside free agents the Rams have expressed interest in are former Oakland Raiders center Stefen Wisniewski and former Atlanta Falcons guard Justin Blalock. Each has yet to make a decision.
NO BLACKOUTS
After featuring a relaxed television blackout policy in recent years, the NFL has suspended blackouts entirely for at least the coming season.
With teams in St. Louis, San Diego and Oakland perhaps leaving after the 2015 campaign for Los Angeles, and possibly facing a season with thousands and thousands of empty seats for home games, the no-blackout rule ensures that all home games in those markets will be on local television.

It will be real tough to find a very good player in this draft after round three IMO. The depth of last years draft was great but don't get used to it.

They can have the late round picks. Like I said, in a weak class it will be even tougher to get the late round gems. They could do some damage with the extra 4ths.

That's why I'm happy it's not a deep draft this year. It's pretty top heavy. Once you get to round 3 the talent really starts to drop off. I'm glad this is the season (and not last year) that they have 11 picks

How do the Bengals get a 3rd rounder for Anthony Collins and 3 sack a year artist Michael Freaking Johnson?!
