From 1994-2017, New Orleans has received the fewest compensatory picks of any team...

There's a strategy to earning compensatory draft picks and the Saints choose not to take part. We simply don't value draft picks.

This again?

If you sign free-agents equal to the ones you lose... no picks.

We don't lose big free-agents, therefore no picks!!!

Ben Watson vs. Coby Fleener? Hmmm???

Contracts say no, but it is an interesting comparison...

I'd really like to see compensatory picks eliminated & the draft extended to ten rounds...

But that latter wish may hurt the Saints in UDRFA success...

Then again, it may force them to do a better job of draft management...
