New Orleans was stripped of its Round 6 pick due to violating COVID-19 guidelines, and are also slated to get at least one compensatory pick from Terry Fontenot that's reflected. They could also gain other comp picks via Trey Hendrickson and other free agents. The original Round 3 pick is part of the conditions for getting Bradley Roby from the Texans.
