Draft Picks for Next Year

The loss of Bentley, Fakhir, and Howard (via free agency) has to be tempered with the consideration of the fact that we signed Brees, Fujita, etc. (via FA), when considering the awarding of possible compensatory picks. Bentley & Howard were 2nd rounders; Brees, IIRC, was also a 2nd, so in theory at least, the loss of Howard is offset.
