Yes!

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the NFL is expected to allow teams to trade compensatory picks in next year’s draft, which should create more deals during the draft weekend.

In previous years, the picks doled out to compensate for losses in unrestricted free agency couldn’t be dealt, which froze the picks at the end of each round.

Wow, a smart change by the NFL. How refreshing. This one in particular was long overdue.

Now can we please fix the archaic rules around how many players can suit up.

Since we have a wheeler-dealer as a GM, this could get interesting. :)

Dang, used to love giving crap to fans that always had scenarios where teams traded their compensatory picks.

"You so stupid!! You cannot trade your compensatory pick. Ha ha!"

The NFL is definitely the "No Fun League" now. Dang it!

The Hawks should have 3 extra picks with one being 3rd rd. pick to potentially trade in this draft.
