Compensatories

That word kinda sounds like “Suppositories,” and, in the case of Dawkins, any compensatory picks probably feel about the same. Nevertheless, it is important to point out that, unless the collective bargaining agreement is modified during the uncapped year (and I think not), then the Eagles will be due compensatory picks in the 2010 draft for the Free Agents that are currently being signed elsewhere. With Lito, C-Buck, B-Dawk, LJ and Considine gone, or all but gone, and the additional potential loss of Runyan and or Thomas, the Eagles will have enough sandwich picks via FA compensation to satisfy even Andy Reids appetite! The significant role and potential performance of these players, in addition to some extraordinary $ values they are/may receive, will make these sandwich picks somewhat valuable in the 2010 draft. I have not read anything about this yet, but it is an unmentioned benefit of the current roster turnover the Eagles are experiencing. Doesn’t make up for the sick feeling of losing one of everyone’s favorite Eagles, but is the silver lining in the cloud. Note that although I mentioned Lito, there will be no compensatory pick for him… He is a traded commodity. But for the others, compensation will be made available via 2010 “sandwich” draft picks.
