Supplemental picks

One important question to ask is... Did we lose the first and second round draft pics we had for two seasons, or did we lose the ability to draft in those two rounds?

The Saints lost their 2nd round picks in 2012 and 2013, but not the ability to move up to the 2nd round via trade.

The Saints do have their 1st round pick for the 2013 draft, they didn't have a 1st round pick in the 2012 draft because they traded away that pick to New England for their 1st round pick in the 2011 draft with which the Saints picked Ingram.

However, there are some indications that if the Saints "play ball" with the league during this 2012 season, are a model franchise when it comes to abiding league laws, and show remorsefulness about their past actions - the league and the commissioner might take that into consideration and return to the Saints their 2nd round pick in the 2013 draft.

At least that is how I've understood the situation the Saints are in, in relation to their draft picks because of the Bountygate penalties.

Well there goes that!

Statements to media + lawsuits = No remorse.

Yeah, but they still have their 1st round pick, which they could fairly easily trade into a 2nd and a 3rd - even if it's the 32nd pick - as evidenced by this year's draft.
