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

Cedric Wilson Jr. canceled out the 7th for Yidom.

I never understand the comp picks. Seems like 49ers usually get a couple picks each year .

Someone please explain how we missed out on Zack Baun comp pick ?

As shown in the graphic in St Geezy’s post signing Young last year cancelled out Baun.

Saints don’t value picks like some teams so we don’t try to game the system.

They need to do away with compensatory picks.

Agree completely. Don't see why teams are incentivized to not pay their players and let them leave. To keep the NFLPA happy, they could simply add an 8th round to the draft.

Not quite correct, as we had begun to, but I suspect the injury crises might have forced the FO's hand a little in terms of signings this year.

I think it’s intended to be an “Ok, we will do this open free agency and salary cap thing you guys want but teams that lose free agents need to be given some sort of way to be compensated for grooming and losing a player for someone else’s benefit” thing.

I.E. “Compensatory” picks.

That’s exactly why the comp system was added at the same time free agency was added.

I just love the terrible transparency for comp picks.

Wow..what a welcome surprise. We land Becton and Kupp, best offseason ever not counting 2006?

But many of those "losses" are by choice. NE used to do a great job at it. Instead of paying your own, let them go and get rewarded for doing so. Very antiquated system. Made sense in the beginning, but not any longer. It has become a financial game.
