Compensation Draft Picks?

Bushead · 11-24-2005, 10:46 AM

Not meaning to jump too far ahead, but after reading an article by the Washington Times about the redskins draft problems, it got me thinking.

Didn't the Eagles get 2 or 3 extra picks last draft because of players that left through free agency? The Redskins lost Antonio Peirce and Fred Smoot, so you would figure that you would get two picks for those two.

It seems that everyone is worried about not having enough draft picks, but I'm not worried about those First Rounders. I would like to see some depth added and some gems in the later rounds.

Or do i have this compensation for free agency thing all wrong? Does it not work the way i'm thinking it does?
