That's fine, but my problem is awarding premium picks. They can still award picks. Just do it from RD4 or RD5 on down. For example, instead awarding a 3rd RD pick, award them a 5th and 6th. That ensures even more players get drafted and a shot. Ultimately, adding comp picks does nothing for increasing player opportunities due to the roster size limit. Until the NFL increases that, there are only so many spots available - regardless of how many picks they add.
