Every year around this timeframe, the NFL announces their list of compensatory selections for the April NFL draft. This year, a total of 35 picks have been awarded to 15 clubs in the 2025 draft, the league announced Tuesday.
Six teams received a third-round pick while the Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys, and Baltimore Ravens received four choices each. The Cleveland Browns receive one pick in Round 6 (#216) and another in Round 7 (#254).
These compensatory picks are determined by a league formula that is based on players or coaches that have signed elsewhere and is a consideration of playing time, salary, and post-season honors.
