The Ravens play for comp picks all the time.
I suggest you take a look at any good roster and see how many third to seventh round picks are starting. Good teams can find starting offensive linemen and quality depth through comp picks.
And I'm not talking about just sitting on money. The Chiefs can re-sign 2 of the three (berry, smith, houston)… all 3 would be nice, but that's a pipe dream. And if they do that, it would have been really hard to afford anyone else. So why not spend money on those guys and collect free picks on the side?
