Saints Get no Compensatory Picks

There is nothing arbitrary or subjective about the system.
Sign better players than you lose and you will not get picks- it's simply an algorithm and nothing more. Teams that lost more than they signed are prioritized and picks are allotted accordingly until they are exhausted.

same thing, every year...

Compensatory Picks system need to be fix or done away with. It's not fair that a team that show loyalty and sign their players get nothing and other teams that sign players during middle of the season just to let hem walk free after the season is rewarded extra picks

But I have to agree - upgrading from Logan Ryan to Stephen Gilmore should've been a net gain for them...

Losing LaGarrette Blount for Rex Burkhead should've been a wash...

Jabaal Sheard had a bounce-back year with the Colts; so that I can see even though the young guns made him expendable...

Chris Long also had a slightly more productive year, and they lost B-Mingo...

Also Mart Bennett and Michael Floyd...

I'm looking at the Cowboys list from last season, and other than Justin Durant, I just don't get how there's anything but an arbitrary and subjective awarding of draft picks to the Cowboys...

The compensatory picks systems needs to go - in the world of the hard salary cap, television networks revenue sharing - there's no longer a need for compensatory picks other than for the league to strengthen certain teams...

And with the Compensatory Picks, our draft picks, currently, are as follows:

Round 1, Pick 27
Round 3, Pick 91
Round 4, Pick 127
Round 5, Pick 147 (via Miami)
Round 5, Pick 164
Round 6, Pick 189 (via Arizona)
Round 6, Pick 201
Round 7, Pick 245

According to the NFL, the formula factored in the Cowboys’ free-agent signing of Stephen Paea versus 10 free agents they lost to new teams: Brandon Carr, Barry Church, Morris Claiborne, Jack Crawford, Ryan Davis, Lance Dunbar, Ronald Leary, Terrell McClain, Mark Sanchez and J.J. Wilcox.
