One contributing factor to that approach was the NFL’s compensatory pick formula, which awards extra draft picks in rounds three through seven of the NFL Draft to teams that lost more unrestricted free agents than they gained.In 2020, the Packers are likely to have no compensatory picks for the second straight year, reflecting new general manager Brian Gutekunst’s more aggressive approach to free agency. However, that approach — which came to a head in March as the team agreed to terms with four players in the span of a few hours — did help a few other NFL teams pick up comp picks of their own.In fact, each of the four teams that the Packers’ additions came from are likely to get at least one comp pick in 2020, according to Over the Cap’s projections. Although just two of the picks correspond to the players who signed with the Packers, Green Bay’s contracts with the other two helped cancel out additions by that old team and ensured that a different lost player would equate to a comp pick.Here’s a look at how those picks will likely break down.Za’Darius Smith: Third-round pick (Ravens)Smith, the Packers’ highest-priced free agent signing, came from the Baltimore Ravens, who have earned a well-deserved reputation for accruing compensatory picks. With an average annual contract value of $16.5 million, Smith’s deal should get the Ravens one of the coveted third-round comp picks in 2020. Baltimore did sigh one high-priced free agent this year, landing safety Earl Thomas, but they also lost linebacker C.J. Mosley to the Jets, so those transactions are projected to cancel out.The comp pick for Smith is one of three that the Ravens are currently projected to receive, along with a fourth-round pick for wide receiver John Brown (who signed with the Buffalo Bills) and a fifth-rounder for edge rusher Terrell Suggs (Cardinals).Preston SmithThe “other” Smith, who came over from Washington, will not end up getting his old team a comp pick. That is because Washington signed safety Landon Collins to a $14 million per year deal, slightly eclipsing the $13M per year that Smith received from the Packers. Washington is in line for a fourth-rounder, however, as Jamison Crowder’s $9.5M/year contract with the Jets will cash in a pick.Adrian Amos: Fourth-round pick (Bears)With Amos coming to Green Bay from Chicago Quinten Rollins Jersey , the Bears are likely to get what could be their first compensatory pick in over a decade - a fourth-rounder. He is the only player lost or gained by the Bears with a contract value exceeding $7 million annually. Cornerback Bryce Callahan headed to Denver for that number, but appears likely to be canceled out by some of the Bears’ signings.Interestingly, the Packers unloaded safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix for a fourth-round pick in the 2019 draft, trading him to Washington midway through last season. Now, the Bears have Clinton-Dix in the fold on a one year deal and should get a fourth-rounder of their own as a result of the Packers picking up Amos.Billy TurnerInterestingly, Callahan landing in Denver is a reason why the Broncos will not get a fifth-round pick for Turner, who signed a $7 million deal of his own in Green Bay. Denver might still land three picks, but because of their additions this offseason, none of them will likely be earlier than round six.Packers’ Comp PicksThe Packers, meanwhile, predictably will get no compensatory picks, as they had just four qualifying players leave, all of whom had contract values lower than Turner’s. In other years, Green Bay might have hauled in three sixth-rounders for Randall Cobb, Clay Matthews, and Jake Ryan, plus a seventh for Bashaud Breeland, but the additions of the four players above will cancel those out and ensure that Brian Gutekunst has no extra ammunition in 2020 as a result of this year’s free agency period. At just 23 years old, Clark is already a top-five player and is poised to make his first Pro Bowl." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShareTweetShareShare2019 Packers 90-man roster ranking, #4: Kenny Clark has only scratched his potentialBenny Sieu-USA TODAY SportsThe Green Bay Packers are in the middle of OTAs this week, but we at Acme Packing Company are winding down the countdown for our ranking of the team’s 90-man roster. We’re down to the top four players, and the fourth player on our list is the top defensive player on our list.That player is entering his fourth year in the NFL Brett Hundley Color Rush Jersey , and he ranks as one of Ted Thompson’s finest draft picks of his final few years. Thankfully, he is under contract for another two seasons at least, and expect the team to make a major investment in him in relatively short order.Stay tuned for player number three later on Thursday.4. Kenny Clark, defensive linemanThe Green Bay Packers got a good one in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Clark was the second of four defensive tackles taken in the first round of that draft, going behind Sheldon Rankins at 12 and ahead of Robert Nkemdiche at 29 and Vernon Butler at 30. Of the four, it’s no stretch to argue that Clark both had the best start to his career and has the greatest potential moving forward.Fast and nimble for his size, Clark epitomizes a Ted Thompson defensive lineman draft pick, particularly when considering the fact that he was the youngest player in his draft class. Clark turned 21 during October of his rookie season, and he will turn 24 this fall. His youth provided the Packers with the ability to harness his already-impressive physical tools and enhance them as he was still developing physically, and his late-season surge in 2017 (4.5 sacks over the final five games) opened many eyes before his breakout 2018 campaign.In a base 3-4 line, Clark is excellent as an anchoring nose tackle. However, he is adept as an interior pass-rusher on a two-man line as well, as he was a consistent pass-rushing presence with six sacks a year ago. Clark also has a nose for the football, forcing three fumbles and recovering two in the past two seasons while starting every one of his 28 games.Somehow, Clark was held out of the Pro Bowl a year ago, but that should change in 2019, provided he stays healthy. He also earned the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, keeping him in Green Bay through at least 2020 — and a large contract extension seems likely either sometime this calendar year or next offseason. Without question, Clark is the best player on the line now, surpassing Mike Daniels for that title, and he ranks on our countdown as the best player on the Packers’ entire defense.
