Does anyone know what compensatory draft picks we will get this year? I always get confused about the process and forget when they determine to give out the picks. I know it has something to do with free agents lost from the previous year, but I don't know if teams get compensation for players that died during the previous season. Did Denver get a compensatory pick for Darrent Williams? A compensatory pick or two would be nice if we do trade picks for a player.

We are unlikely to get any picks and we certainly don't get any picks for Taylor. Draft picks are awarded based on the difference between losses to free agency (taking into account the caliber of the free agents lost) and free agent acquisitions.

I gotta say though that was one of halodoc's best composed posts. Needs work still but it could be a step in the right direction
