À propos de cet audio

 Ever wonder how a team that loses half its free agents somehow walks into the draft with ten picks? That’s the NFL’s secret stock market at work — compensatory picks. In this week’s episode of Moneyballers, we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood tools in roster building: what comp picks are, why the league created them, and how front offices have quietly turned them into goldmines.

We’ll take you back to the 1990s, when the salary cap and free agency collided, and show how the Final Numerical Value formula determines which teams get rewarded for losing players. You’ll learn why the 2017 rule change that made comp picks tradable changed everything, how front offices like the Ravens and 49ers have mastered the system, and which all-time greats — like Larry Allen and Hines Ward — were once just “extra” draft selections. From formulas and loopholes to case studies and future trends, this episode reveals how the NFL’s smartest teams turn losses into leverage.
