The Green Bay Packers have received 15 compensatory draft picks in Ted Thompson's tenure as general manager.
Teams that have lost players in free agency are rewarded by the NFL with extra draft selections. Thompson has had his share of busts among his compensatory selections, but has also chosen several key starters.
This week, Packer Plus rates the top five compensatory picks since 2005 under Thompson.
