    "In addition to the 32 selections in each of the seven rounds, a total of 32 compensatory picks are awarded to teams that have lost more or better compensatory free agents than they signed in the previous year.[59] Teams that gain and lose the same number of players but lose higher-valued players also can be awarded a pick, but only in the seventh round, after the other compensatory picks."

    "The placement of the picks is determined by a proprietary formula based on the player's salary, playing time, and postseason honors with his new team, with salary being the primary factor"

    The exact formula for comp picks is unknown. But performance, pay, number of freeagents lost/gained all play a part in it.

    Personally, I don't think we get anywhere near a 3rd rounder just because Brown is playing well.

    We signed twice as many players in FA as left the team. Brown is the only one that is even half worth a crap that we lost. I don't know if the others have even played. Meanwhile at least 5 of the guys we signed are playing regularly.

    All in all, we spent more money, lost less valuable (monetarily) players, gained several players who are starters and several who play regularly. From what I understand of the formula, it sounds like we will be lucky to get a pick at all. No way we get a 3rd.

    Just because a player goes to a different team and plays well, it doesn't guarantee a high comp pick for their previous team.

    The titans aren't a young team. That is a myth. The o-line, and MM are young, but the defense is going to be more of a problem next year than it is this year. We need to get as many defensive playmakers as we can possibly get. I wouldn't even worry about any offensive player in the draft.

    We need to really restock the d-line, linebackers, and get one good corner.

    On Mel Kiper's board, Foster just jumped into the Top 10.[​IMG]

    I like Cunningham more than Foster. I don't trust Bama players.

    Bama has produced some pretty good ILB as of late. DBs on the other hand...

    Outside of Mosley who are all these other LBs from Bama? All I can think of is Ragland (who hasn't played a snap) and Nico Johnson.

    He is projected top 10 also. Kiper has him going to the Browns. I hate that.

    5. LB/DE Tim Williams, Alabama
    Even though he was projected to be a late first or early second round pick had he come out early, get ready to watch his stock go through the roof. Alabama always has elite defensive talent, and sending stars to the NFL has become commonplace, but it hasn’t had a pure pass rushing terror quite like Williams in the Nick Saban era.

    He might be undersized at 237 pounds on his 6-4 frame, but he was unstoppable in spring ball when turned loose and should now take his game to a whole other level after coming up with 10.5 sacks with 19 tackles for loss. He’s not going to come up with the silly 40 times, but if the scouts can get past that, they’ll find exactly what every NFL defense is looking for.
