I don't recall seeing it mentioned here, but it's been talked about a little on FOFC over the years:

Compensatory picks

I'd love for the game to add in compensatory picks, even in a limited way (ie. only 1 pick per draft per team). I think they would add an interesting wrinkle to both the draft and free agency. The teams who let studs walk to get signed massive contracts in FA while not themselves splurging in FA in order to get a high compensatory pick could be strategically interesting.

The one big issue I see is the AI. In mp leagues I would imagine any AI free agent pickup contract wouldn't count as the AI frequently gives out less than ideal contracts. Maybe the way the AI hands out contracts would change if compensatory picks were added in, though the additional coding in all this likely puts it far down the list of likely to ever make it into the game. That's a shame.
