it still makes more sense than I draft well, I get 4-5 years out of player(s), can't manage to keep them so I get rewarded again by letting them go.
Some people were asking for a system like that. Some of the same people complaining about these picks.

I don't care for the system as is but I understand it and don' hate it. The Saints chose to basically ignore it and I agree with that approach. Worry about getting who you want and only letting the guys you don't want/can't afford go.

If we get bonus picks great.

If not who cares. We got the players we wanted in FA. To me that's ALWAYS more important. Known is always better than unknown(not saying FAs are always better than draft picks, but it's always better to know what you are getting than to take a gamble on the unknown).

I get all of that and agree with most of it. I also agree with the Saints approach.

In all honestly, it's no skin off my back as a fan and I'm not changing the system. That said, it still makes little sense in the scope of how the NFL works - regardless of who complained and got what they wanted.
