While the NFL Draft is five months away and Patriots fans are more focused on the playoffs than the draft, I thought I would give an update for the Patriots possible compensatory picks. The Patriots are currently scheduled to receive a 3rd round compensatory pick from the Browns for LB Jamie Collins and a 5th round compensatory pick for losing Akiem Hicks to the Chicago Bears in free agency. Over the Cap does a great job every year of projecting the NFL's compensatory pick formula. They also added a cancellation chart to make things easy for the average NFL fan to grasp.
