Quote:The NFL awards additional picks to teams that are determined to have suffered "net losses" in free agency during the season prior. While the losses of Terrance Knighton and Derek Cox qualify as ones that would provide the Jaguars with picks, they were cancelled out by the additions ofRoy Miller, Geno Hayes, Alan Balland Sen'Derrick Marks.


The losses of Eben Britton, Rashad Jennings and Daryl Smith could have helped the Jaguars receive a compensatory pick, but players earning low minimum salaries don't count and unrestricted free agents not signed before June 1 are also tossed out of the formula.


The only realistic hope the Jaguars have at receiving a compensatory pick is if the NFL doesn't award enough picks to fill the entire draft order. In that event, the league fills the remaining picks with the teams at the top of the draft order. That means the Jaguars have an outside chance at receiving the Mr. Irrelevant pick, although that chance is slim.
