i believe, since they didnt start doing it till there were 32 teams in the league...it would have to be #97.......since 32 x 3 = 96.....then go the 3rd Round Comp Picks.....and then then the 4th round begins.

I believe you are mistaken, he was their only 2nd round pick in 1994 and it was pick 46 in the middle of the round.

Dallas Cowboys guard Larry Allen, a likely Hall of Fame candidate when his career ends, entered the league as a compensatory choice in 1994. So did former Arizona Cardinals free safety Pat Tillman (1998 as a seventh-round pick), who stepped back from football last year to join the Army Rangers, and is now deployed in the Middle East.

He could be mistaken though, so I'm not positive.

I don't think it can be compensatory if it was mid-round

You're probably right then. I'll do some more snooping.

EDIT: Yeah I believe I was wrong, now that I have looked more, my bad.

In 1994, the first year comp picks were awarded, they began in the middle of the second round. But ever since then, comp picks have been awarded starting at the end of the third round, except for two special situations --

-- The Raiders got a higher comp pick for their franchise player, Chester McGlockton, in 1998. Between the time the Raiders franchised him and the time the Chiefs signed him, the NFL changed the rules about franchise tenders (an exclusive franchise player's tender must be guaranteed now) and the Raiders declined to guarantee McGlockton's tender. He then basically became a non-exclusive franchise player, but most of his time to shop around had been taken away (exclusive franchise players can't talk to other teams). So the NFL stepped in and ruled that the team he signed with would have to forfeit only a second-round pick that year, and the league would give the Raiders another comp pick at the beginning of the second round.

-- Another exception involved players named in the NFLPA's original antitrust suit that started this era of free agency (ending Plan B free agency). The players named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit (Reggie White, Michael Buck, Hardy Nickerson, Vann McElroy and Dave Duerson) could not be named franchise or transition players, but the NFL gave their former teams high comp picks when they signed elsewhere. The Eagles, for example, got the last pick in the second round in 1996 after White signed with Gren Bay.

White signed with Green Bay after the 1992 season, I was thinking they got the pick the next April
