re: No saints compensation picks

But yeah long story short we sign way too many UFAs while letting too few go to ever qualify for picks.

It's basically a choice of do you want to keep Ingram and add Spiller and Browner vs. do you want to roll the dice in the draft with 3rd and 4th rounders(or maybe worse 5th and 6th rounders). The Saints like to go with the sure thing.

Let's say for instance we let Jenkins go last year would you rather sign Byrd or get a 4th round pick(at the end of the round). It's not like these comp picks are great value. They start at the end of the 3rd and few get picks that high. It means you lost a really good player to get what could be a career backup/role player.
