    Don't forget about the compensatory pick(s) we may be getting, at least one, possibly two...

    Yeah, I dont know why everyone doesnt include this. even the sole called "analysts"; when they talk about the trade they say, "they got a 2nd for the welker trade". 2nd A N D 7th!

    Dont think any of our lost players will equal a pick.

    the League issues them based on lost FA's vs. signed FA's. (They start at the end of 3-7 round)

    Damion McIntosh, he's the only somewhat decent FA they let walk. I would think he'd be worth at least a late rd comp right?

    Hopefully we trade down a few spots, but that's pretty tough to do so we'll have to see what happens... I'd love to get a trade with JT done, only if he wants out. I hope Cameron (or whoever our HC will be) will sit down and find out what he wants... if he wants out of Miami, get a deal done. If not, let him stay.

    I dont think so because we got lewinski... The picks are determined by FA who are lured away and leave by another team and the original team not replacing them with someone who was just as producitve. Maybe we get soemthing for Morris, possibly McMike...not exactly sure though

    Well that's rediculous, I didn't know that part. McMike was still under contract so I didn't think they could get one for him, am I worng on that? I am pretty sure that as long as I live I will never fully understand the mystery that is the comp pick.

    I found this:

    In addition to the 32 picks in each round, there are a total of up to 32 picks dispersed at the ends of Rounds 3 through 7. These picks, known as "compensatory picks," are awarded to teams that have lost more qualifying free agents than they gained the previous year in free agency. Teams that gain and lose the same number of players but lose higher-valued players than they gain also can be awarded a pick, but only in the seventh round, after the other compensatory picks. Compensatory picks cannot be traded, and the placement of the picks is determined by a proprietary formula based on the player's salary, playing time and postseason honors with his new team, with salary being the primary factor. So, for example, a team that lost a linebacker who signed for $2.5 million per year in free agency might get a sixth-round compensatory pick, while a team that lost a wide receiver who signed for $5 million per year might receive a fourth-round pick.

    If fewer than 32 such picks are awarded, the remaining picks are awarded in the order in which teams would pick in a hypothetical eighth round of the draft.
