Maybe the Fawks will use those picks on DEs they can convert to the OL. Cable does a swell job with those.

BTW, you can't trade comp picks. Once you get them you have to keep them.


They changed the rule starting 2017.

NFL owners approved two changes Wednesday that might have an effect on the NFL draft starting in 2017 and free agency in 2016.

The owners, who are meeting in Irving, Texas, voted to allow compensatory draft picks to be traded beginning in 2017 and also voted to shorten the "legal tampering window" before free agency from three days to two.

In the past, compensatory picks -- awarded to teams for losing a certain number of free agents -- have not been tradeable.
