Next year's draft should result in at least two comp picks. (At least) one should be a third-fourth round pick.

Read that Jones/Sanu will likely be a 4th and a 5th.

Normal FA they'd probably have a good shot to be a 3rd and 4th, but in this FA Jones' $40m deal was tied for only the 10th highest contract among players who went from one team to another this offseason. Even once you start cancelling out some of those players with the team's additions, Jones isn't going to get in the 3rd round pick territory.

So think 4th and 5th, which isn't highly impressive when you realize that those picks come at the very end of the round. They'll basically both be late round picks, which is why refusing to improve your team to get a couple late round picks is such a silly idea.
