On Monday, Nick Korte at Over The Cap made his final 2019 compensatory pick projections. What does this mean for the Patriots?
According to Korte, the Patriots will receive four compensatory picks in 2019: A third-round pick for Nate Solder, a third-round pick for Malcolm Butler, a fifth-round pick for Danny Amendola, and a seventh-round pick for Cameron Fleming.
(Four compensatory picks is the maximum number a team can receive.)
It's important to note the Jeremy Hill signing offsets the loss of Johnson Bademosi, and the Adrian Clayborn signing currently offsets the loss of Dion Lewis.
As of Monday, the Patriots have 12 selections for the 2019 draft. They are:
- First round: Original assigned pick
- Second round: From Bears as part of a 2018 draft-day trade
- Second round: Original assigned pick
- Third round: From Lions as part of a 2018 draft-day trade
- Third round: Compensatory pick (Solder)
- Third round: Compensatory pick (Butler)
- Fourth round: Original assigned pick
- Fifth round: Compensatory pick (Amendola)
- Seventh round: From Browns as part of the Josh Gordon trade
