Faneca Nets a 5th Compensatory Pick

http://www.profootballtalk.com/draft/draft-order-chart/

5-33-169 Pittsburgh (Compensatory Selection)

We of course get our 7th for Mahan.  I know a lot of us were hoping for better than a 5th, some even a 3rd, but overall I'm ok with this.  Yes, we lost a hell of a player in Faneca, but we also got his best years out of him.  I haven't looked at values, but I'd like to see our FO make a smart deal or two to get the right player with our extra picks this year. 

I still chuckle to think about how the Bengals used their franchise tag this offseason.

I thought we shoulda got a 3rd

Our running game slumped, Faneca paved 1300 yds for Jones to run on, and our running game was inneffective nearly all year
