Looks like the Dolphins get an extra 6th and an extra 7th. Not bad,
considering we really didn't lose a lot in the way of free agency. Here's
the story from PFT:

RAVENS, BENGALS GET FOUR EXTRA PICKS
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 31, 2008, 3:50 p.m.
Fifteen teams received a total of 32 compensatory draft picks today when the
NFL revealed the final tally at the league meetings in Palm Beach, Florida.

Compensatory draft picks are extra picks in the third through seventh
rounds, and they go to teams that lost more or better free agents than they
acquired, based on a complex formula. The maximum number of compensatory
picks any team can receive is four, which the Baltimore Ravens and
Cincinnati Bengals got this year.

The Bears, Colts, Eagles and Redskins got three compensatory picks apiece.
The Bills, Panthers and Dolphins got two each, and the Falcons, Packers,
Giants, Rams, Chargers and Titans each got one.

The most valuable compensatory picks are the third-rounders, which were
awarded to the Redskins, Bengals, Falcons and Ravens. In past years those
would have been the last four picks of the first day of the draft; this year
the third round is on the second day.

Fourth-round compensatory picks went to the Eagles, Bills, Ravens, Titans
and Packers. Only one team, the Chargers, got a fifth-round compensatory
pick.

Sixth-round compensatory picks were awarded, in order, to the Giants,
Eagles, Colts, Colts, Eagles, Dolphins, Colts, Ravens and Bengals. The rest
of the compensatory picks are seventh-rounders.

I think we should get a compensatory pick just for having to put up with
Vandal and Cinnamon Buns.

When was the last comp pick awarded to the Phins?
I feel like it was a decade ago...

Anyone remember?

I think they've gotten compensatory picks every year - they are given to
teams that lose players in free agency. The Dolphins routinely have
lost players in free agency - religiously - regularly - steadily -
persistently - commonly, consistently, conventionally, frequently,
generally, habitually, naturally, normally, traditionally, usually,
wontedly...

Know what I mean?
