San Diego, California - A total of 32 compensatory choices in the 2008 NFL Draft have been awarded to 15 teams, the NFL announced today.
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 today will supplement the 220 choices in the seven rounds of the 2008 NFL Draft (April 26-27). 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. The NFL Management Council developed the formula. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula.
One club this year (St. Louis) will receive a compensatory pick even though it did not suffer a net loss of compensatory free agents. Under the formula, the compensatory free agents St. Louis lost were ranked higher than the ones it signed (by a specified point differential based upon salary and performance).
The NFL Management Council has determined the following 2008 draft picks:
Rd Choice Team 3 33-96 Washington 3 34-97 Cincinnati 3 35-98 Atlanta 3 36-99 Baltimore 4 33-131 Philadelphia 4 34-132 Buffalo 4 35-133 Baltimore 4 36-134 Tennessee 4 37-135 Green Bay 5 33-166 San Diego 6 33-199 New York Giants 6 34-200 Philadelphia 6 35-201 Indianapolis 6 36-202 Indianapolis 6 37-203 Philadelphia 6 38-204 Miami 6 39-205 Indianapolis 6 40-206 Baltimore 6 41-207 Cincinnati 7 33-240 Baltimore 7 34-241 Carolina 7 35-242 Washington 7 36-243 Chicago 7 37-244 Cincinnati 7 38-245 Miami 7 39-246 Cincinnati 7 40-247 Chicago 7 41-248 Chicago 7 42-249 Washington 7 43-250 Carolina 7 44-251 Buffalo 7 45-252 St. Louis |
