For those unfamiliar with the term, a compensatory pick revolved around free agency. If a team loses a key free agent during the prior offseason, the NFL awards a compensatory pick that can be used in the NFL Draft.
How does the NFL award compensatory picks? If a team “loses more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year,” then the NFL will award that team a compensatory pick based on the value of the free agent lost.
Salary, playing time, and postseason honors are used to determine a compensatory free agent. Compensatory picks fall from Rounds 3 to 7.
The NFL also awards special picks to teams that employed a minority employee who was hired by another team as a head coach or primary football executive. The 49ers and Rams were each awarded a pick for meeting this criteria.
