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.

I am disappointed no 3rd round, but 4th round 1st pick is close to a 3rd round. As for these picks, the good news is they now can be traded, the bad news is we rarely make trades. I just wish we would use a combo of the old strategy and consider 1 major trade or FA signing to get us over the hump.
