Redskins Awarded Third-Round Pick
PALM BEACH, Fla.--The Washington Redskins were awarded three additional picks in the NFL draft in April, including a third-rounder, today.
The league announced the compensatory draft choices awarded based on a formula balancing players lost and added in free agency.
The Redskins were awarded the highest of the compensatory selections, the 96th overall pick in the draft. Their other two compensatory choices come in the seventh round, Nos. 242 and 249 overall.
The Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens also were awarded third-round picks. The Ravens and Bengals were awarded four picks each, the most in the league.

great news mark, kinda forget all about compensatory picks until i read that. that should definitely help them out, especially with the 96th pick. there's certainly going to be some quality talent out there to choose from there, to add depth for one thing, and it's always better to have more picks in general i say. thanks for all the updates!!
