Why the Saints Fail at Acquiring Compensatory Draft Picks

The year is 2019 and once again, the Saints have failed to earn any compensatory picks. As fellow CSC writer Chris Dunnells pointed out, the Saints sadly sit at the very bottom of the league having earned only 10 compensatory picks since 1994. The Ravens have earned the most with 50. The Cowboys and Packers tie for second with 42, while the consistently dominant Patriots sit third with 39.

Every year, a couple weeks before the start of free agency, the NFL announces which teams will receive compensatory picks for that year’s draft.
