They set a value that they'll pay for guys. Then if a team offers over that...they let them leave. They then use the Compensatory pick as if it were a calculated strategy...because they know that fans think most guys drafted will be good starters or stars.
In reality, they let guys that are Top 10 players on the team go and replace them with the special teamers listed above.
I completely agree with you but there are many who regurgitate what the front office spews as if it is some sort of grand plan that pays dividends.
