Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula.
 
I'm confused. The first post says the 2008 draft. How is that last year?
 
No, he's right. It's not till the next year you get compensary picks. So who ever loses the most free agent talent this offseason will determine what picks they will get in the 2009 draft.
 
like the poster above said... you get comp picks for the prior years FA additions/subtractions... because how they performed on the new team comes into play along with their salary and some magical other things the NFL doesn't want to tell anyone
 
all i know is this draft is DEEP in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

the talent in those rounds is phenom, the best in years.

the friggin' redksins got handed 3 3rd rounders for comp pic.

that gives them 4 3rd round pics. DAMN!!

and atlanta got awarded i believe 2 more 3rd rounders to go along with
there 3 second round choices they have.

man! do i want us to get more 2nd and 3rd round pics. we should be
knocking on atalanta and washingtons doors for trades like mad!!

3 3rd round comp pics! its the NFL lottery!!

wish it was us.

Not sure what you are talking about, but Washington got ONE 3rd round compensatory pick, bringing their total to two in that round. Same goes for Atlanta.
 
Compensation system is a joke. Look at the Eagles...they got picks for Jeff Garcia and Dante Stallworth...players they rented for a year.

Do you sometimes get the feeling that the NFL is pretty darn flawed?
