NFL revises three comp picks

Published

on

Citing a database error, the NFL revised compensatory draft picks for three teams Wednesday.

The Carolina Panthers had a sixth-round pick bumped to the fifth round, giving the Panthers two fifth-round comp picks.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a seventh-round pick turned into a sixth — their lone comp pick — and the Denver Broncos had a sixth turned into a seventh. The Broncos now have three picks in a row at the end of the seventh round.

The Broncos remain one of four teams with the maximum four comp picks, along with the Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs.

The league awarded 32 picks to teams based on the net loss of free agents in 2014, with a maximum of four per team. Players’ values are based on a formula that takes into account salary, playing time and postseason honors.

The Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans each will make three compensatory selections. The Panthers, Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers, Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots each were awarded two compensatory picks. The Arizona Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers and St. Louis Rams will have one compensatory selection apiece.

The draft is April 30-May 2 in Chicago.
