Would be nice, but 3rd rd picks are valuable and we had to give up two just to sign the dude.

Yeah i either read it wrong or the article i saw was poorly worded. I originally read it as the lions were giving up two compensatory 3rds to the rams, not that the league is awarding the rams two extra 3rds.

Lions expected to hire Los Angeles Rams' director of college scouting Brad Holmes as their new general manager, per source. They are finalizing a multi-year deal.

Lions get the general manager they wanted...and the Rams now will become the first team to receive two third-round compensatory draft picks as part of the NFL's new hiring initiatives.

Second part is kind of interesting. They now give comp. picks for losing coaches if they're minorities lol.

Oh jeez. I thought that was reviewed and overturned. I remember joking about Belicheat using this process to gain draft stock, but I didn't realize it remained a thing

I don't have a problem with it. Obviously it doesn't benefit predominantly white franchises like NE or GB, but others will be rewarded for cultivating a diverse coaching staff.

I don’t think we have to compensate them, they are just called compensatory because they are to compensate a lost asset, the league grants them

/e: sorry someone else already explained
