Then again, it may not.

Looking at the total numbers of comp picks, it doesn't seem fair.

For example,
The Ravens have had 35 more draft picks than the Browns over the last 20 years. They're in the same division and Baltimore has had much more success over that time span than Cleveland. That seems to me like too much of an advantage when the Browns haven't done anything wrong.

That is because fair has nothing to do with it, how many players have walked from the Browns in the last years that would count as value using the Compensatory picks formula.

"Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The
formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not
every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this
formula. "

Baltimore having had more success is evidence that Baltimore has been letting better players go.
