Yes, would love getting a pick, though I think it is unlikely. Seems everyone outside of owners believe these punishments to be patently illegal, and should be overturned. Since just giving us money without anyone to spend it on doesn't make up for it (they cannot give us back the FAs we missed on - like a quality RT, top tier WR, LB like Lofton, etc) -- would be completely reasonable to give us back a draft pick. Perhaps #3rd or 4th round pick would be nice.
