The NFL announced 37 compensatory draft selections among 16 teams for the 2023 NFL Draft on Thursday, with the San Francisco 49ers landing seven of them. Here’s what you need to know:
Per the league, “a team losing more or better compensatory free agents (“CFA”) than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.” CFAs are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors.
The compensatory picks are positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost.
