Except it is only your opinion that they over value the extra pick. Extra draft picks do have value and help a team get better. I don't know how people can deny this.
And it is also only speculation that they would pass on any player just to get a comp pick. Just two days ago people were acting like it was a set-in-stone fact that the Bengals were not going to spend over $15 million in free agency.
And finally, when you are only going to sign a mid to lower tier guy anyway I don't see a big difference between the guys who have played out contracts and the best of the guys who have been released.
