Don't they just give them all to the eagles, no matter what? ;)
It's been so long since we could even consider picking up picks that I'll believe it when I see it. But given how the pundits were all saying we wouldn't recover from the losses of Smoot and Pierce, we ought to get something!

Not that we should have anything to complain about but I just read this at a site where this guy who predicts the compensatory picks every year (he is usually very accurate) and anyhow he predicts that we will only be getting one extra pick at the end of the seventh round. That sucks and is much less than I was thinking we would get. (#1) as someone already mentioned we don't get anything for Pierce because he came into the league as a free agent. (#2) No matter that Smoot signed a big contact and Patten and Rabach signed small ones they pretty much cancel each other out under this system. A seventh round pick is about as useful as those tickets you win after playing Skeeball for eight hours. Anyways I was way off on what I thought we would get. Oh well.

The skins won't get any. They never do. Philly will get a half dozen.

I still think this is not right. So you find a great player[non drafted] and he grows up with your team only to have him sign somewhere else few years later. You draft a player no better and the samething happen but you get a pick. Dose it hurt any less to have either player leave? That needs to be changed!!!
Or... you could just put up the money necessary to entice that player stay with you.

good link, thanks. A 7th is nearly useless, but whatever.
