 | New England gains three more picks for the 2009 NFL Draft courtesy of the compensatory system. With 11* picks overall, the Patriots are armed and dangerous |
The Compensatory picks were handed out yesterday by the league. The Patriots hauled in their fair share netting 3 more picks in rounds three through six. Combined, New England now has 12 picks in the 2009 NFL Draft.
Compensatory picks are based upon free agents signed or lost from the previous season. New England lost three key contributors; Asante Samuel (Eagles), Donte Stallworth (Browns) and Randall Gay (Saints).
The value of those picks is determined by a secret formula. The components of that formula include playing time, compensation and postseason honors.
Here are the Patriots picks for 2009:
1st round 1 pick (23rd overall)
2nd round: 3 picks (34t, 47t, 58)
3rd round: 2 picks (89, 97*)
4th round: 1 pick
