Steelers Projected To Earn 7th Round Compensatory Pick In 2016

The NFL’s compensatory formula is just one of many confusing processes in the league. But according to Over The Cap’s trusted experts, they anticipate the Pittsburgh Steelers netting a late 7th round pick for Brice McCain in the 2016 NFL Draft.

The Steelers are projected to receive the next-to-last compensation pick, mainly centered around McCain’s $2.75 million average yearly value. McCain signed a two year, $5.5 million contract with the Miami Dolphins in the offseason. McCain has been somewhat limited by a knee injury, playing just 62.1% of the snaps in 2015.
