While your proposal eliminated the comp entirely, mine reduces it a round.

I think the norm will be more like the Alexander / McGahee swap.
I know you did state that Mike. I wasn't ignoring it, just trying to improve on it, incorporating some of the other ideas.

If Alexander and McGahee were both tagged as 1st rounders, it think it should be more than a one round drop, if we're still looking to add picks. If you want to make sure teams are still getting additional picks, how about something like (and keep in mind, we need something to incorporate all situations, not just straight swaps), if you sign a player of the same position and tender level of one you lost, your compensation picks drops two spots. If you signed a player of lower value, or at a different position, then your own comp only drops one round. Of course it would get complicated when a team, say, loses three RFAs, and signed 4 in return. How do you match them up? Highest tendered loss to highest tendered gained? Match by position first? Match round, then position as tie breaker? It could be done, but will be confusing.
