I think compensatory picks are one of the worst things in the NFL. If the team lose a free agent they already gain something. They gain cap space. Why give something more?
Agree completely. Losing a FA is almost always a business decision by the original team. They have the first option to sign the player and chose not to. Why should they be rewarded with additional draft picks simply because they made a business/financial decision? NE has played the game for years. There were 11 3rd round picks added this year. That is nuts. The effect of all the picks is to add a full round to the draft. They should get rid of the compensatory picks and just add an 8th round.
We could lose 30 players to FA's and still not get a pick. I get that the players you sign basically cancel it out depending on the money you sign them for (I think)
But it seems like its the same teams every year regardless of what happens.
Of course All of this could be in my imagination.
False.
Our issue is we just don't know how to play the comp game or we choose not to.
If you want comp picks, just sign players who were cut, or their contracts voided or trade for players. Stop signing so many "traditional" UFAs whose contracts have expired.
This system is so scientific; it is up to each specific team if they want to partake in its benefits. The reason why it seems like the same teams get them is because those teams choose to do what I laid out above while also allowing many of their own players to walk. I wouldn't be surprised if there are teams that lay out their entire off-season plan with the comp pick formula in mind.
It's like free draft picks. Some teams are just playing chess while others are playing checkers.

EDIT: Here is the best resource for seeing why we don't get picks and why others do. It's a year by year, team by team breakdown:
