The same people who made these projections had the correct round on 24 out of 32 Compensatory picks in 2013 and were off by one round on 5 of the 8 picks they didn't correctly project.   Considering the complex formula for Compensatory picks,  that's a very good batting average:

I read on Bleacher Report we are not getting any CPs. That better not be true because we lost a lot of free agents and one of them played in the Super Bowl.

Hah. I had to think about that for a second. We let good people go? I didn't know we had any good people, but Daryl and Knighton performed admirably.

Terrance Knighton was the best guy on Denver's defensive line last year andc Daryl Smith was not why Baltimore missed the playoffs.

 

Apparently it does not matter when the player's contract is only $5M for 2 years.

Guys....and lady, I believe we signed more free agents than we lost or broke even...that is why no comp picks for us.



But I could very well be wrong

I need to look that up. We lost a lot of players.

You have to lose players by contracts expiring for it to be considered in the compensatory formula not by just outright releasing players still under contract.

One additional component to what you expressed.  Players that are UFA's that don't sign with a different team until after June 1 don't count towards the NFL Compensatory Formula.   Hence,  in the case of the Jaguars,  Daryl Smith and Rashean Mathis aren't part of the formula that would help them get one or more Comp picks.

 

Some UFA's have to wait until after June 1 to get a viable contract offer from another team because of the way the NFL Compensatory procedure is set up.

I think I remember John O saying that we can't receive a comp pick for Smith.

We did not cut Terrance Knighton. He was a free agent.

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.
