I know we have a pick from Seattle for Lynch is it a 6th or a 5th.
Lynch had a monster year but we do not know at this point.
Anyone have any idea?

5 – Hi Chris,
I enjoy your coverage of the team very much. My question for you is do the Bills still have a draft pick left this year from the Lynch trade and what did they get for Lee Evans? Also it seems like they should be in line for a compensatory pick of some kind this year for Poz. Ok, thanks again for all the info!!

CB: Thanks for the compliment. The Bills got a fourth-round pick in this year’s draft for Lee Evans from Baltimore. As for the Lynch trade it was a conditional sixth-round pick that could become a fifth-round pick. From what I understand the chances are good that it will be a fifth-round pick, but because it is a conditional agreement, those conditions agreed upon by the two clubs must be confirmed by the league as being satisfied. That has yet to happen.
With respect to a compensatory pick for the loss of Paul Posluszny that should happen. I would anticipate a fifth or sixth-round pick knowing the size of Poz’s contract has a lot to do with the unknown compensatory formula that the league employs. Buffalo did not have a free agent signee that came remotely close to Poz’s $45M deal with Jacksonville so I’d expect Buffalo to get one for losing him.
So breaking it all down the Bills will have nine picks and should get a 10th as a compensatory (round to be determined). Here are the rounds of the picks we know they have assuming the pick from the Lynch trade is a fifth, though the league has not confirmed it. (1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7).

Re: Lynch Trade
Chris Brown is wrong about the comp pick
Total loss must exceed total gain
He cannot base the comp pick solely on the Poz dealComment

Re: Lynch Trade
The formula that has worked for the past few years says no comp for Buffalo. sorry, guys.
Neither Kirk Morrison, Tommy Thigpen, or Brad Smith contributed much for Buffalo. But signing two of them cost the Bills a 3rd rounder for losing Posluszny.Comment

Re: Lynch Trade
At best, we get a 7th
Contract value, number of players lost, number of players signed, performance and then only 32 comp picks can be awarded league wide...........all factor into how the picks are allottedComment

Re: Lynch Trade
and actually, they usually end up giving away free ones to the worst teams. Generally, there aren't 32 slots which qualify, so at the end of the draft they start cycling from the top of the draft order again until they get to 32. Based on these predictions, either the Bucs or Browns will be picking Mr. Irrelevant.Comment

Re: Lynch Trade
So signing Morrison and Thigpen cost the Bills a 3rd rd. pic ? If so, add this to the previous screwups. Heck they could have not signed Brad Smith also for all he did.Originally posted by CleveSteve
Three useless free agents or that 3rd rd. pick. Hmmmm.

It would have likely been a useless 3rd rd. pick anyways.
What gives you any inkling that pick wouldn't have been wasted based on past track record?Comment
