Indy has two fewer first round picks in 2008 than the Pats do. Oakland's 3rd round pick will likely be worth more than Indy's entire compensatory haul. The difference in value between what the Pats and Colts have for 2008 is equivalent to sitting out an entire draft.

LMAO. pwned.

Next year's draft is assumed to be stronger but the key for us is will it be better deeper at the positions of need.

Also,something that people don't think about also is possibly tossing these extra picks towards RFA's if the right ones area available for the correct price.

At worst, we push it off for another year.

next year restricted and free agents are a bad bunch, I doubt we go that route.
