re: ESPN:Saints offer an instructive alternative approach.

We are only down a 3rd and a 6th next year and we will get comp picks. We typically cut our late rounds picks anyway with the one exception of Strief and Colston. We hit on a defensive tackle in the 5th every now and then. Clapp and Ellis are holding on to there roster spot by a thread. I don’t see how this backfires on us. What kills us is staying put and taking players like Stephone anthony and Stanley Jean Baptiste.

and honestly... if we get the comp picks we expect to for the losses this offseason... you could say we theoretically aren't down any draft picks next year
