New england was granted four compensatory picks - one in the sixth round and three in the third.
Got one in the 6th. Clearly that's three in the 7th.
Highest they can be is the 3rd.can a comp pick ever be in the rounds 2-4?
The fan expert, AdamJT13 said we'd get three 7ths and a 6th or 7th. This was the best case.That's much lamer than I was expecting.
Best it can be is a 3rd rounder.4 shots at the dart board hopefully we land Ju Ju or TFB type players.
25% chance 1 of those picks will turn out to be at least "descent".
i'm sure we can find something late. Is this the most comp picks we have had in sometime....... I'm familar w/ MLB comp..... but not so much NFL comp...

How do you figure? The primary consideration is what the player the team lost signed his new contract for. That would be Jabar Gaffney who signed for what, about $2.5 million? Big money players like Haynesworth get you a 3rd, a 4th rounder would go to players signing for about $5-6 million a year, a 5th would be compensation for a guy signing for around $4 mil, etc. Evans, Paxton, Jordan and Izzo were all about $1 million signings and therefore the minimum (7th round) compensation.That's much lamer than I was expecting.
Still, I hear those 6th round Compensation picks can sometimes work out.
So I'm speculating that the Pats' draft picks will look something like this once these compensatory picks are officially announced:
1st round #22
2.12, #44 overall (from Jacksonville)
2.15, #47 overall (from Tennessee)
2.21, #53 overall
4.21, #119 overall
6.21, #186 overall
6.38, #203 overall (compensatory for Jabar Gaffney)
7.22, #226 overall
7.24, #228 overall (from Philadelphia)
7.42, #246 overall (compensatory for Heath Evans)
7.43, #247 overall (compensatory for Lonnie Paxton)
7.45, #249 overall (compensatory for LaMont Jordan)
A little bit of a revision:Nice projection.
I think it's likely BB trades down and up to get a 3rd and maybe a 5th
I don't expect trading into 2011 as we already have Oakland's 1st

A little bit of a revision:
1.22, #22 overall
2.12, #44 overall (from Jacksonville)
2.15, #47 overall (from Tennessee)

4.21, #119 overall
6.21, #186 overall
6.36, #205 overall (compensatory for Jabar Gaffney)
7.22, #226 overall
7.24, #228 overall (from Philadelphia)
7.40, #247 overall (compensatory for Heath Evans)
7.41, #248 overall (compensatory for Lonnie Paxton)
7.43, #250 overall (compensatory for LaMont Jordan)
I know this is 20-20 hindsight and crying over spilt milk, but it sure would have been nice if the draft picks from certain trades for players that were cut (Alex Smith, Greg Lewis) were still available - and there was no need to be compensated with the 205th pick of the draft. . .
