A question we still get a compensation pick for the loss of Dockery right? If so is it based where he was drafted,what he is going to make or what? Where do you think the pick will be?

Compensatory picks are not automatic. Usually they are given to teams currently in the league's graces (like Denver and Philadelphia). It will be for the 2008 draft and likely not any higher than a sixth rounder.

Actually there's a formula for comp picks. URAs lost - UFAs signed. There are other details like where the guy was drafted I believe. At this point we would 0 since we signed two and lost two.

But the processes used to determine the quality of FA signed vs lost are highly subjective and not standardized at all. In the past, Denver lost picks as a penalty for being over the cap during their SB run, only to be handed them back as compensatory picks. Very shady business.
