Bucs Add A Sixth-Round Draft Pick
March 10th, 2021
Bucs fans have come to love sixth-round draft picks over the years.
Scotty Miller, Mike James, Keith Tandy, Geno Hayes, Adam Hayward, Ellis Wyms — they were all well-liked Tampa Bay sixth-round picks of the past 20 years.
So Joe hates when people use the term “throwaway pick” referencing late-round selections. They’re only throwaway picks if you’re bad at picking players.
Today, via ProFootballTalk.com, compensatory draft picks were announced and the Bucs scored an extra sixth-round pick in the 2021 draft (No. 217 overall).
The Saints were bolstered by picks Nos. 98, 106 and 218 overall.
The formula for compensatory draft picks is a total mess to explain and, from Joe’s experience, NFL executives even have a hard time clarifying it. In short, if you lose players to free agency, then that is weighed against players you sign in free agency and “compensation” for your losses may be awarded in the form of a draft pick (s).

So we got a pick for losing Jameis?
March 10th, 2021 at 3:55 pm
Oh, I read the title and thought they extended Brady.
March 10th, 2021 at 3:55 pm
So who did we lose?

Breshard Perriman

Brady was a 6th round draft pick? Bucs lucky round.

Brady signing last year wiped out most of compensatory pick value from my understanding, and I believe Jamiss Pick6 is correct, Breshad Perriman is where the value still resided and allowed to us actually obtain any Comp Picks.

Teams that have lost more compensatory free agents than they signed in the previous year receive between one and four picks somewhere in the third through seventh rounds.[68] Teams that gain and lose equal numbers of players but lose higher-valued players can also be awarded a single seventh-round pick
^^^^
That is how defined if search

Hey we can use it to move up in third or fourth round for that last quality stud/contributor/ future starter
We have found low round gems over the years. Every team does
But its rare to get quality guys in rounds 5,6 and 7

So, it’s next year that we may get picks……Fournette, AB, Shaq,Suh, if they aren’t resigned.

Who did the saints lose?

Gbobucsfan,
Not sure who, but maybe the NFL figures since they have JayMiss then they’re gonna need as much help as possible!

A bit off topic I saw a draft with Edge Ronnie Perkins (Okla) at 32 and I’m loving it. Plays and size like JPP. He could be a perfect student of the game with JPP in his last year.

Beau Allen. Carl nassib.perriman?
March 10th, 2021 at 5:09 pm
Does anyone know if signing AB mid-season affected our number of Comp picks?
March 10th, 2021 at 5:13 pm
Bucs didn’t get a pick for Jamies because his contract was so low that it didn’t qualify. Bucs received the pick for losing Breshad Perriman.

The pick was for Perriman, was projected to be a 5th rounder – so it sucks it turns out to only be a 6th.

I like Ronnie Perkins as well feel like he is solid value there if that is what the Buc’s want. I really like that he has played both sides of the defense as well.
To me JPP athletic talent is soo underrated. Look up his back flip challenge in 2009. Not sure that any other athlete his length could do that.
But that being said on JPP, again I like Ronnie Perkins.

Brady was a sixth round draft pick!!!
March 10th, 2021 at 5:58 pm
…they did (TB12) last year, as well.

The Bucs got the 1st comp pick in the 6th round, so they lost out on a 5th rounder by one slot…
March 10th, 2021 at 6:11 pm
We have our full compliment of picks this year….with an additional 7th round pick…..and we will need them for depth & special teams…..
The vet minimum is from $675K-$850k…..so I’m quite sure there will be many qualified vets competing with our later round picks.

Haha losing americas backup quarterback nets us a 6th round pick for the loss. The irony is great since we replaced him with a 6th rounder already.

thought kwon was 6
March 10th, 2021 at 6:31 pm
sorry my bad
March 10th, 2021 at 11:30 pm
AB was a 6th round pic

Good one Ne+bucs fan, Brady was obvious but AB was not. Didn’t know he went 6th round.
