early 6th (jetss - for patrick ramsey)
6th (panthers - for rod gardner)
7th (comp pick, for losing 2 FAs (smoot/pierce) and getting two much cheaper FAs (patten rabach) in the same year... the value difference should create a 7th round pick).

I wonder how much of a difference it would have been had Smoot and Pierce not missed a combined 8 games.

probably not a big difference (patten did end up on IR, missing 7 reg season and 2 post sseason games). The only REALLY important factor is number lost and number gained. Contract size and performance are secondary concerns.
