I perfectly understand what you're saying that very few teams even the most successful hit on Comp picks. With that being said though New England is someone who does not place the emphasis on Comp picks that we do. They sign free agents, they make trades, they are active!
Our team chooses to do nothing because the message they sent to us is the comp pics are so valuable.
Let's be realistic New England has clearly been a model franchise. We can say hey they got lucky getting Tom Brady in the sixth round but how many moves have they made over the years to ensure their franchise remains a Super Bowl contender year after year either by trades or dipping their toes into free agency?
They obviously don't always hit but they're unafraid to take a chance and more often than not their moves pay off
