We were so close to the New Orleans Saints reversing a decades-long trend when it comes to compensatory draft picks. Usually too active in adding free agents to qualify, the Saints finally lost more than they gained in the 2020 offseason following the departures of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, linebacker A.J. Klein, safety Vonn Bell, and cornerback Eli Apple.

When matched against the addition of wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, that left the Saints with a +3 value in Over The Cap’s cancellation chart, projecting them to receive three compensatory picks in the 2021 draft. That would mean an extra selection in the third round (for Bridgewater) and a pair of sixth-round picks (for Bell and Apple, having lost another one by signing Sanders).
