[Cards Czar]

I have been seeing posters use different drafts and to get a clear picture on our picks below is an updated listing.


2018 Arizona Cardinals Draft picks and Traded picks.

Fourth round:

Chicago has a 4 Rounder from Arizona (2017 draft day trade), Pick # (#117).


Sixth round:

New Orleans has a conditional #6 from Arizona (RB Adrian Peterson), Pick # (192).

Seventh round:

Arizona has a conditional #7 from Baltimore (C/G Tony Bergstrom), Pick # (238).

Undisclosed/conditional:

Kansas City has an undisclosed, conditional late-rounder ( 7th) from Arizona (CB Marcus Cooper),

Pick # (233).

Draft Picks:

Round 1: # 15

Round 2: # 47

Round 3:# 79

Round 3:# 97 (Comp pick), (C. Campbell)

Round 4:# 165 (Comp pick), (T. Jefferson)

Round 5:# 154

Round 7: # 238 Trade with Baltimore. (Conditional Pick), (OG T. Bergstrom)

Round 7: 254 (Comp pick), (A. Okafor)

I have been asking around( OTC, Walters, GBN) on the Comp pick that was taken away by A. Peterson as he cancels out Marcus Cooper. Peterson got hurt but the computation is not clear. We might get back a 6th round comp pick but won’t know until the NFL announces the picks.

Swearinger/cooper doesn't give us any further picks?

Excellent report, Cards Czar.

I think the comp picks are 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. They forgot the Swearinger signing.

Adrian Peterson counts? Wow. Thank you. This is enlightening.

wasnt he a trade?? didnt think trades counted.. just free agents

This, in essence, if this is correct, the Cardinals traded a 5th (comp) and a 6th for Adrian Peterson?

Seems impossible when you traded to get him he wasn’t a free agent

that is what i asked OTC and that is what they told me. They also said that if not then another 6th rounder is what we would get.

also look at the bottom of this like and it will tell you about the pick.

Look under
Qualifying/Valuation Questions

also look at the Possible Altering Scenarios

Here is what they listed as "Possible Altering Scenarios":

• Arizona
  • If Adrian Peterson does not qualify, Arizona will get a 6th for Marcus Cooper.
  • If Kevin Minter is valued as a 6th, Arizona will get a 6th for him instead of a 7th for Alex Okafor.
  • If DJ Swearinger is valued as a 5th, Arizona will get a 5th for him instead of a 7th for Alex Okafor.
  • If Adrian Peterson does not qualify and DJ Swearinger is valued as a 5th, Arizona will get a 5th for Swearinger and a 6th or 7th for Kevin Minter instead of a 7th for Alex Okafor.
• • After leaving Minnesota for New Orleans, Adrian Peterson was traded to Arizona. It is well established that if a team trades for a CFA, that team is also charged with gaining that CFA in the comp pick formula. (Hence why the Patriots did not want to include Brian Hoyer in the Jimmy Garoppolo trade.) What is not known is whether the team that trades away the CFA is relieved from that charge of a CFA gained. This aspect is not relevant for Peterson and the Saints, as New Orleans (as usual) is not projected to receive any compensatory picks anyway. But it is relevant for Wilcox and the Bucs. I am guessing that because that this relief would allow a team to double dip on draft picks, Wilcox will still count as a CFA gained against Tampa Bay. But I could be wrong, and if I am, the Bucs will gain an additional comp pick.
  • 
    
  • Peterson’s case also has an additional complicating factor other than just being traded. He became a UFA in 2017 after renegotiating his contract in 2015 to include a possible shortening of the original deal via a team option on his 2017 year. The Vikings declined that option, and Peterson was no longer under contract. It is known that contracts that are shortened through renegotiation via a player option disqualify that player from becoming a CFA. But it is not known whether the same rule applies to team options. A clue toward this answer may have come when, for the first time ever when the NFL issued its annual official release of free agents, it marked a small number of players as “non-compensable unrestricted free agent”. Peterson was not one of these players. For this reason, I’m guessing that Peterson will qualify. But again, I could be wrong, and if I am, that will impact comp picks for both Minnesota and Arizona.

NO, each team is only allowed to receive 4 Comp picks.

Maybe we get:

1- 3rd
1- 4th
1- 5th
1- 6th

only one in each round?? Surely that cant be correct. I thought for sure we have had years with 3 comp picks in the sixth round.

So...a third for CC... then a fifth for swearinger, a sixth for Minter

No screwing around and reaching for players from small schools.
