This phenomenon happens every year in the NFL, but little does this incident happen to the New Orleans Saints. Yes, we are talking about NFL Compensatory Draft Picks. Now, if you are any normal Saints’ fan you’re asking yourself what that even means.
Let me explain. Every year the NFL awards extra draft picks to teams who’s free agency goes awry. To qualify for a compensatory draft pick, you have to at least lose more unrestricted free agents than you sign in a given period, meaning Taysom Hill doesn’t qualify.
That is why you never hear of the Saints in this topic — because they always sign more than they lose.
