The Packers rarely get a third, and Lang got hurt toward the end of the season, so I'm guessing the Packers get screwed as always: a fourth, two fifths, and a sixth.

As the NFL explains, compensatory picks are awarded to teams that lose more or better compensatory free agents than they acquire. The number of picks a team can receive equals the net loss of compensatory free agents, up to a maximum of four. Compensatory free agents are determined by a secret formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. Not every free agent lost or signed is covered by the formula.
Although the formula has never been revealed, by studying the compensatory picks that have been awarded since they began in 1994, I’ve determined that the primary factor in the value of the picks awarded is the average annual value of the contract the player signed with his new team, with an adjustment for playing time and a smaller adjustment for postseason honors.
I can't remember how many games Lang missed, but I believe the Lions signed another former Packer to fill in. Maybe Donnie Barclay.
According to the formula as suggested above, the amount of time Lang missed may allow the league to screw the Packers again. But I hope not. An end-of-third-round pick would be sweet. See what GuttyKlump can do with that.
Can they trade the compensatory picks now? I thought I read last year that this was going to be allowed.
