Thought we'd get a 7th for Yiadom, but I guess something changed with the final numbers/values after accounting for performance boosters.

Veteran Additions:

WR Cedrick Wilson, OT Oli Udoh, DE Chase Young, LB Willie Gay, LB Khaleke Hudson.

Off-season losses:

QB Jameis Winston, WR Michael Thomas, TE Jimmy Graham, G Andrus Peat, G Max Garcia, DE Malcolm Roach, OLB Zack Baun, CB Isaac Yiadom, S Marcus Maye, S Lonnie Johnson.

Feel like we should of gotten at least two picks

Yiadom was near the bottom of this list, so it appears he got chopped off obviously.

Not all of those are qualifying compensatory free agents.

The only ones that qualify are players who had their contract expire naturally (I.E. no cuts, trades, or voided deals) and signed elsewhere at a qualifying figure.

Oh yeah... The void.

They need to do away with compensatory picks.

OTC had the Saints listed for a possible 7th round pick.

 

[SaintStephen1]

keep overpaying old vets in FA and your chances of getting these picks diminishes.

I actually like the compensatory picks. If you know the formula, then you could use it to your advantage. I didn’t like when you couldn’t trade them, but you can now, so why not?!?!

The Cedrick Wilson contract was just expensive enough to cost us our 7th round compensatory pick.
