The Eagles were awarded one Compensatory Pick, a 7th rounder. This is based on last year’s free agent transactions.
The Eagles now have:
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th
7th
7th – from Cleveland in David Sims trade
7th – from Tampa in Benn trade
7th – Comp pick
“Since 1994: Ravens are leading the way with 37 comp picks. Packers-31. Cowboys, Eagles, and Titans with 30.”
Don’t we have 4 picks in the 7th now? 9 total picks?
Rd 1: 4th
Rd 2: 3rd
Rd 3: 5th
Rd 4: 4th
Rd 5: 3rd
Rd 6: none
Rd 7: 4th (reg pick), 6th (from Browns), 24th (from Bucs via Bears), 33rd (comp)
Do we actually have 5 picks in the seventh round???
4 – normal pick
6 – from Browns (D.Sims)
20 – from Bucs (A.Benn)
24 – from Colts (Fokou and Lloyd)
33 – compensatory
No, they do not. The Indianapolis deal was contingent on Fokou and Lloyd both making the Colts roster. Fokou did , but Lloyd did not. Info gleaned from various sources.

Having extra 7th round picks is great for us because we spend lots of $$ on scouts and scouting compared to many other teams. Terrific time to select “UDFA types” with no competition for next to no extra $. It doesn’t take many Bryce Browns or Havilis or Colemans or Chaneys or Fokous or Dunlaps to see the value of those picks just in the last 5 years. Getting 1 of those solid role players per year “on the cheap” helps supply the cap room to pay the stars.
