PrintAccording to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the New England Patriots have been awarded 4 compensatory draft picks- one in the 6th round and three in the 7th round. Late last week I ran an article explaining the mystery surrounding the compensatory picks, along with AdamJT13's predictions for us. Needless to say, he was spot on.
SEVENTH ROUND
1st Compensatory Pick of the 7th Round: New England (Jabar Gaffney, $2.5 million, 16/7) — possibly a sixth-round pick
11th: New England (Lonie Paxton, $1.03 million, 16/0)
12th: New England (Heath Evans, $1.05 million, 6/5)
13th: New England (LaMont Jordan, $1.01 million, 9/0)
This means great things for us. We received the greatest quantity of compensatory picks this draft, which hopefully translates into some great late-round pick ups.
According to ProFootballTalk.com, these are the Patriots compensatory picks.
Round 6
New England -- 205
Round 7
New England -- 247
New England -- 248
New England -- 250

Don't all these extra picks...
just solidify that fact that if BB needs to use one of the 6th or 7th non-comp picks to jump ahead a couple or three spots to nab the right guy – that he will?
Quite likely, yes
He bounces those non-comp picks around the draft board, either to package with bigger picks as appetisers (a 2nd and a 7th to get Welker), or to package little ones together to shift around the later rounds (like how he jockeyed around to get 5th round, 153rd overall Matt Slater).
The years with the most comp picks, he’s packaged draft pick trades effectively – either draft-pick-for-draft-pick trades (2009 he dropped down to get Chung, Vollmer and Tate, and up to get Brace, using the comp picks on Pryor, McKenzie and Bussey), draft picks for players (2007 Hoodie traded draft picks for Moss and Welker, knowing he had four comp picks in reserve), and to supplement/ back-up regular picks (2005 Hoodie drafted Mankins, Hobbs, James Sanders and Matt Cassel, alongside compensatory picks Kaczur, Ryan Claridge and Andy Stokes).
Token southern hemisphere guy - 14,688km from Foxboro. That's 9128 miles, for you heathens.
