For the lucky teams that didn't have their first and 'traded' away another first, thus they essentially got value for 2 firsts when they only had one, and have a competitive advantage.

Anyways, where would we place those compensationary picks? Would the team with the 'compensationary pick' pick right after the team with the 'real pick'? Or would the compensationary picks be at the end of whatever round they were traded in, in order of worst record?

Personally, here is my opinion:

The "compensationary picks" that are traded (i.e. IF the 49ers traded their first that they 'don't have', or if some other team traded theirs, such as the Colts) should not be kept as 08 picks, but rather, changed into their 09 counterparts. Therefore, these 'compensationary picks' are not longer compensationary, but rather, are placed one year ahead.

Now, I know that we are not allowed to 'trade' 09 and future picks, but I believe this is the best way to keep things from being 'messy' in terms of throwing in picks, plus the teams that 'traded away' picks that they 'don't have', don't get that advantage anymore; they would be losing that pick in 09 instead.

I figure, make a list of these 'compensationary picks', then when the 09 draft arrives, the pick would be (on the game) selected technically by that team, but in reality and on here, it would be the team that got that 'compensationary pick' that makes the selection, then Sox could easily just sign a few scrubs to have the players selected traded to their respectable teams. Or Sox could sign and trade the draft picks prior to the draft, same thing, but prior instead of after.

Thoughts?

I actually think this is a pretty good idea.

If you can explain how you get them(I've never been real good with those rules) I'll be glad to do them.

Ugh I thought I already explained it.
