According 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.
