Rugby Saint II

The teams that consistently get compensatory picks don't hold onto their vets too long and draft rather than go the free agency market. It's a smart strategy.......just not one that Loomis and Payton are too fond of.

Personally, I believe Godhell is still giving us the finger in this somehow.

I think we are leaning towards getting rid of the compensatory pics. An article I read the other day about the have and have nots. It was suppose to help the teams losing... but only ones who are getting the pics are the teams that won SB's. "Smart teams". They know how to play the system. You dump your high salary players and pick up lower salary picks...

To be honest, I don't remember the Saints *ever* having a compensatory pick. I'm thinking back into the 90's before the Ricky Williams draft. I just don't remember the Saints ever having a compensatory pick. Someone tell me if I'm wrong.

The Saints have been awarded the fewest compensatory picks at a total of 10.

Our last compensatory pick was Illinois LB Nate Bussey in 2011, Round 7, Pick 40...

Before that it was in 2006, Round 7, Pick 44, a receiver out of Hofstra named Marques Colston...

Exactly, we always try to replace what we lose through FA.

I think I remember Dave Wilson QB as a compensatory pick back in the Archie Manning Days.

EDIT: Nevermind. He was a supplemental draft pick back in 1981, which I believe is something different
