If you don't sign a first round pick and subsequently lose his rights, you receive a compensatory second round pick in the same position of the round where the unsigned player was drafted (i.e. if you fail to sign a player chosen 15th overall, you'll be given the 45th overall pick in the next draft). There is no compensation if you don't sign anyone chosen past the first round.
That was in the previous CBA as well.
