This could help us out on the pick formula.

Aren't the comp pick methods a secret? Don't confuse me with facts because I know that Roger Godhell has it out for the New Orleans Saints. If Davenport performed better, he would have been worth a higher comp pick maybe. But .5 sacks last year didn't help.

Nope. Not a secret at all. And Goodell has no input into the compensatory picks. Once again, what the player did prior to the acquisition by the new team doesn't matter. What drives the pick level is average annual salary of the new contract, percentage of snaps played with new team, and post season awards with new team in the first year.

If Davenport would have had 15 sacks in 2022 it wouldn't have changed anything unless the Vikings contract was much higher than it was. Hell, if he had 15 sacks he wouldn't be going anywhere. The pick levels we are seeing now are nothing more than educated guesses BASED on past history. The final pick levels won't be known until well after the 2023 season.

I'm afraid that we will give away next year's' comp picks to move up for a player we need now to help DA be successful this year. I hope not, but the Saints don't seem to value mid round picks and throw them away like discards at the poker table.

We keep spending picks to move up in the draft and have very poor depth as a result of fewer draft picks. The Saints have had to be players in free agency and that eats up our cap while not getting any younger and cheaper.

Keep the picks, fill out the roster, and get competitive again. Depth has been our achilles heel lately. We are no longer one player away from a championship run and we desperately need to restock the shelves. The best way to do that is by not trading up for players we covet, but waiting for the draft to come to you by picking BPA like we used to when we built a strong roster.

Our roster isn't as aged as you seem to believe, Rugs. I posted this elsewhere ...

I find it interesting that the age of the Saints roster is brought up as an argument by some detractors. The average age of the Saints roster is 27.17 years. The league average is 26.54 years of age. 31 of the 32 teams have an average age of greater than 26 years, with only one team, the Rams, averaging under 26 years of age (25.91). Let's also not forget that those Rams finished with the 5th worst record in the league this past season.
