Meaning our original 4th round pick is more like pick 20 then pick 9 of the fourth round. Kinda crazy to think how far we fell in the 4th round thanks to the extra 11 3rd round picks awarded.
Now I wonder how important it was to not sign free agents to try to get comp picks. I'd rather have the free agents if we can't even get a 3rd after all we lost and didn't replace.
And in an even more of a blow. CLE, BAL, PIT all got extra 3rd round picks.
We did sign some free agents and replace... The way they do it.. Going after guys cut rather than those with just an expired contract is what helps them with the comp picks... But 5ths 6ths and 7ths are hard press to make the team generally.
This year is a little different as comp picks can be traded. Not that we do that often but we have a little extra ammo to do so maybe on day 2.
