We don't get the pick of the team that signs the player.
They sacrifice their first-round pick (Unless it is protected). Everyone else slides up a spot. The team that lost the player gets a comp pick at the end of the first round of the draft.
So Baltimore signing a guy with a QO is great for KC... as it moves them up from No. 18 to No. 17 in the draft order.
Now, just need someone to sign Santana... and get a pick in that comp round.
If Santana ends up signing 4/48 or 4/50, I understand the reticence from the KC front office. It's if he lands somewhere on a 3 - or especially 2 - year deal, that's when it really stings.
