Obviously the RFA bidding is about 'perceived' value, not actual value. The actual value will not be known until after the season has been completed. If a team tenders a TE at a 1st round level and the player is lost then the 'perceived' value is 1st round.. simple as that. It is the winner of the RFA who has to deal with the whether the actual value paid is correct or not so I don't see how that should impact the draft. To say a team losing Gonzo over a team losing LT is losing 'superior' talent is ENTIRELY subjective and certainly should not be factored into the compensetory process IMO.

You're not getting my point, The shitty teams have already been rewarded via the draft with higher picks. The RFA comp process isn't to reward them a 2nd time.
The RFA comp system is to lesson the blow for losing talent, and it's always been measured by the value of the player lost (as measured by the salary paid in the winning bid as compared to the tender level comped). The comp system has NEVER had anything to do with the overall composition of the team itself. It's aplayer valuation, and it rewards comps based on the valuation lost.
The Draft Order and RFA Compensation system have NEVER been related, nor should they be.
