Rams Should Be Loaded With Comp Picks In 2014

[Playmaker]

As everyone by now has heard, the Rams received no compensatory picks from the NFL for the 2013 Draft. And this is no surprise being that the Rams signed more free agents in 2012 than they lost (their own free agents signing elsewhere).

But 2014 should be a lot different. So far the Rams have only signed two free agents, Jared Cook and Jake Long.

But they have lost Steven Jackson, Danny Amendola, Brandon Gibson, Robert Turner, Bradley Fletcher, and Craig Dahl in free agency.

The way these Comp Picks work are they are handed out by the NFL when a team has more of their own free agents sign elsewhere than that team signs from other teams. So right now the Rams are -4, or they have lost 4 more to other teams than they have signed from other teams.

The round these picks come from are determined by the success of the free agents with their new teams. So as hard as it might be to root for players from other teams, it would behoove Rams fans to root for all their free agents they lose to get higher picks in 2014.

I'll root for everyone sans Craig Dahl.

Can't do it.

Just can't do it.

Playing time factors in. I'll be rooting for Dahl in that respect. :lol:

IMO, we'll probably get a 5th, 6th and 7th or a 5th and 2 7ths next year.

I love Danny Amendola, but it'll be hard for me to root for him because he's playing for the cheatriots.

Same here -- can't root for him in New England.

I really like Danny as a person. Even if he's playing for NE, I wish him nothing but the best.

Well, here's the thing ... since I never watch the Patriots in the first place, I don't have to root for him to hope he does well. If he gets Welker stats, that doesn't mean the cheaters win anyway.
