So, does that mean the pick would not occur until the draft after that (2023). That seems unfair. In this case, if he doesn’t sign now, Leiter would be a sure first-round pick next year, unless he got hurt or performed poorly wherever he ends up playing. It would totally suck to wait another year to draft a compensation pick that would be way below the fifth pick I used for Leiter. I just reread the scouting report on him, and it is glowing. Ugh. Patience.

I believe in OOTP you will be guaranteed the pick. I think one spot below where you picked him this year? If he was the overall #1 your comp will be pick #2 overall. Or maybe there is a rule about top 5 picks not being comped at "last yr pick +1" and the pick will be farther down?
I know I've seen AI teams not sign a top 1 or 2 and thought they got the "pick + 1 spot"? But it's been awhile and I'm not 100% sure.
