NFL gives 32 total compensatory draft picks to 19 teams
National Football League

A total of 32 compensatory picks in the 2010 NFL Draft have been awarded to 19 teams, the league announced Monday.

Under terms of the NFL collective bargaining agreement, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.

The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four. The 32 compensatory choices announced Monday will supplement the 223 choices in the seven rounds of the 2010 NFL Draft (April 22-24). This year, the compensatory picks will be positioned within the third through seventh rounds, based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost.

Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. Not every free agent lost or signed by a team is covered by this formula, which the NFL Management Council developed.

This year, three teams -- the Oakland Raiders, Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- each will receive a compensatory pick even though they didn't suffer a net loss of compensatory free agents last year. Under the formula, the compensatory free agents lost by these teams were ranked higher than the ones they signed (by a specified point differential based upon salary and performance).

Thirty compensatory picks were awarded to teams, based upon the compensatory pick formula. By rule, two additional choices were awarded at the end of the seventh round to bring the total number of compensatory selections to 32, equaling the number of NFL teams. The two additional picks were awarded to the St. Louis Rams and Detroit Lions, based upon the 2010 draft selection order.

Following are the teams that will receive compensatory picks in the 2010 NFL Draft:
