Ted Thompson loves compensatory picks and he does all he can to add as many as possible each year. The way the Green Bay Packers see is that if you have more swings of the bat, the odds of hitting it out of the park increase. And the Packers have done exactly that on more than one occasion with a compensatory pick.
This year, the Packers have received two extra picks for the loss of cornerbacks Tramon Williams and Davon House in free agency a year ago. Green Bay now has two additional fourth round picks, taking their draft total to nine.
