Julius Peppers only got Carolina a 3rd comp, so us getting a 4th for Kampman is fine by me! Ted will turn it into something good.
Well I guess since we won the Superbowl, they don't feel to sorry for us! T.T. is notorious for turning nothing into something!
I thought conventional wisdom was that Kampman would bring either a third or a fourth rounder so I'm mildly disappointed it turns out to be a fourth. With the compensatory picks now assigned, here are where the Packers' picks fall (unless I miscounted) Round --- Overall Pick 1 --- #32 2 --- #64 3 --- #96 4 --- #129 4 --- #131 Compensatory for Kampman. 5 --- #163 6 --- #197 7 --- #204 From Carolina in trade for LS Jansen. 7 --- #232
That is not accurate. Carolina got 3 picks, 3rd, 6th, and 7th for the two players they lost, A.J. Feeley and Julius Peppers. So they got more than just a 3rd for peppers.
Kampman was a bad fit in the Packers new 3-4 scheme. I wish him the best, but I'm glad the Packers got a 4th rounder for him. I'm looking forward to TT picking up a solid player.
