I'm fairly certain there's going to be some kind of section for post-June1's in their "super secret" formula, alas, I believe there's also some kind of addition to the formula for guys acquired in free agency for depth, who step up and play well in the absence of the starters (Mauga as an example) and for guys who have little to no impact due to injury (Mays as an example).
Obviously the Compensatory selection formula is proprietary and we will never "know" about it, we can just speculate purely on the "rules" they have let public to us, like the ones I quoted in the previous post.
Ideally, this formula says "Oh ****, they lost Albert, Schwartz, Asamoah, Jackson, AND McCluster?", "Better give them two 3rds and two 4ths".
More importantly, we're competing in losses, against the other teams that also failed to "bring in" more talent than those that had left, and with only 32 total compensatory selections available, the elbow room can be a little lacking, but from what I remember from the off season, there should be about 9 teams "out" of the compensatory rulings, assuming they can fill 32 draft picks (and they can), and of those remaining 23 teams or so, only a handful of them will be receiving multiple picks, the Chiefs included.
Its for this reason that I truly believe we will only receive 3 of the 32 compensatory selections, instead of 4, but I truly wish that the NFL sees how much talent we lost at the Offensive Line and awards us the 4th and also gives us "equal" compensation for those losses, instead of just saying "oh, well, they get 4 picks anyways, stuff them in the back". Instead of seeing 3 of the top 10 linemen in the league at their respected positions departing this team.
