I agree that a team that has a player that has been declared defected that they should have a compensatory 1st round draft pick, however it should be the team they trade the player to 1st round draft pick. That team would then would get a 1st round draft pick at the 21st pick or if there more than 1 player that are declared defected the lowest place team would pick 21st and the others 22nd and so on. It is not fair in this process that other teams not involved have lower draft picks because another teams get a compensatory 1st round draft pick.
Its a teriffic rule; more teams should take advantage of it. You can't stop a player from dictating where he goes; but, you can compensate a team that is unable to take the best player available, and 'charge' a team getting top five talent in the 15-20 spot. Did London not get two first rounders last season?
