That's not correct.
The compensation pick that clubs get for failing to sign a first round pick the previous year is a one-time event only. If Washington fails to sign either of its first round picks this year, it gets no first round pick in compensation next year because it already got its one-time first round compensation pick in this year's draft for failing to sign its first round pick in last year's draft.
