  • Tom Brady (6th)
  • Nick Kaczur (3rd)

Who else?

Among late pick successes, I'm pretty sure that Givens, Cassell, and TBC were not comp picks (I recall them each as being earlier in the 7th round, post-multiple-passed-picks Givens being the latest of the bunch). Not Deaderick either, I think (ditto). I don't know about other DL (Pryor, LeKevin Smith).

Actual UDFAs, of course, by definition weren't taken w/ comp picks.
 
2009 Comp picks

Ty McKenzie

George Bussey

Pryor
 
Most recently, Brandon Deaderick and Myron Pryor. Deaderick was a comp pick, as was David Givens.

Several nice parts to our championship teams came from comp picks. Obviously Brady and Kaczur, but also Givens and Patrick Pass.

2010 comp pick - DL Kade Weson is on IR .....


a redshirt year for him I guess :cool:



Another comp pick was Larsen.Tampa Bay grabbed him off waivers. I think BB wanted to develop him at C/G on the PS.....
 
Are you sure about Givens as a comp pick? That pick was pretty far before the end of the 7th round ...
 
2001: SS/LB Hakim Akbar (5.163)

Ha Ha ... I don't remember him at all, but he did get a ring.

Local News | Web extra | Safety Hakim Akbar: "I tried to play with no fear" | Seattle Times Newspaper

In November 2001, a year after Williams was hurt, Akbar suffered a spinal injury and nearly died. He was driving home, alone and tired, after socializing with teammates. He says he fell asleep at the wheel and woke up to find he was speeding down the interstate, going at least 80 mph.

His Cadillac Escalade went off the road, and Akbar, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, was thrown 30 feet through the sunroof. He spent a month in the hospital, eating through an IV, with three fractured vertebrae, broken ribs and an injured hip and shoulder.

Police said alcohol wasn't involved. But Akbar was charged with driving with the intent to endanger, among other offenses.

A doctor told Akbar he wouldn't play football again. But three months after the accident, Akbar was working out, preparing to make his way back. Although he didn't play in the Super Bowl, the Patriots presented him with a ring. Afterward, the team released him.
 
David Givens was taken with the Patriots own 7th round pick (# 244) - the last pick of the 7th round before the compensatory picks. However, the Pats screwed up getting to the podium on time and by the time they picked it was # 253.
 
Hakim Akbar...Wasn't he the guy that got suspended for some thing nebulous and stupid ('conduct') on the eve of the Super Bowl? Maybe it was someone else, but I recall it was a Safety.

After going through the trouble of finding out about Givens - I saw in JMT's post a missing piece of information and became curious. Who was the "compensation for" getting the Tom Brady pick.

There is a formula for the net gain and losses of eligible free agents in the process of rewarding compensatory picks. The trouble is I don't know what is meant by eligible. But the Pats lost the following to free agency in 1999 (the year for the 2000 compensatory picks)

Todd Collins
Tom Tupa
Mark Wheeler
Dave Wohlabaugh
Devin Wyman
And ... SCOTT ZOLACK

Are we eternally grateful to ZO ?????

I'm trying to remember; this was discussed at length a year or two ago and I'm not 100% sure - but for some reason I think it was finally determined that it was Tom Tupa.

Maybe somebody with better memory than me can verify.
 
Between Brady and Martin, it looks like we drafted two Hall of Famers with our compensation. Nice. (Martin was my first favorite Patriot before he left.)

David Givens was taken with the Patriots own 7th round pick (# 244) - the last pick of the 7th round before the compensatory picks. However, the Pats screwed up getting to the podium on time and by the time they picked it was # 253.

I have an awful memory so I could be wrong, but I don't think we had pick 244, which was the last pick of the 7th round before comp picks. We traded our 1st, 3rd, and 7th to Washington to move up and take Graham. We did acquire a 7th rounder from Dallas in a separate deal, but that was 237.

Yeah, I was just about to say the same thing.
Pats traded their 1st (#32), 3rd (#96), and 7th (#234) to Washington for their 1st (#21). Pats drafted Daniel Graham; Redskins drafted Patrick Ramsey.

In the other deal the Pats traded a 5th (#168) to Dallas for a 7th (#237) and a 2003 5th. Pats drafted RB Antwoine Womack with that 7th. I believe that 2003 5th was later traded as part of the trade of draft picks with Tennessee that resulted in the Pats drafting Dan Koppen.

In 2002 the Pats actually traded up twice: the Graham pick, and they also moved up to draft Rohan Davey.

I just looked it up -

2002 NFL Draft Pick Transactions

They traded their own picks (32 and 96) and #234 (which they got from the Jets as part of the Bill Belichick "trade".) to move up and get Graham.

And even though this site doesn't mention it - I know they screwed up with the 244 pick and were late and picked Givens with # 253
