Now that the May 12 free agency deadline has passed, the time is appropriate to look at what the Green Bay Packers are expected to receive in the form of compensatory draft picks next year.

Nick Korte of OverTheCap.com projects the Packers to receive a fourth and a fifth round draft choices for the losses of Tramon Williams and Davon House in free agency.

On Friday Korte joined the Railbird Central talk show on 247Sports to explain the cutoff between the fourth and fifth round projections, which are based primarily on the size of the contract players sign.

"The cutoff I have that came out for, in particular with the Packers players, is about $6.6 million per year," said Korte, "which is kind of right in between where Tramon Williams and Davon House were signed for."

Williams signed a three-year, $21 million contract with the Cleveland Browns in March, a deal averaging $7 million per season.

House, meanwhile, signed a four-year, $24.5 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this offseason, which averages out to $6.125 million per year.

The projections are not set in stone because what transpires during the 2015 season can factor into the compensatory draft pick formula to a small extent.

Other factors that can influence the value of the draft picks are playing time and postseason awards.

"It usually takes a first selection Pro Bowl bid to be the most common boost," said Korte.

As weird as it may seem to root for players on another football team, Packers fans would want to see Williams and House receive as much playing time as possible and be voted into the Pro Bowl for the Packers to get a higher draft choice.
