Where did the extra draft picks this year come from?

WrongWay · 04-25-2005, 08:10 PM

I never got around to hearing exactly how these teams managed to get extra picks in this years NFL draft. Is there something an owner can do to be awarded an extra draft pick by the NFL? Did all the "Bonus" picks come at the end of the 3rd?

With the last pick in the 3rd round, the Denver Broncos selected Clarrett with the 101st pick of the draft.

My math tell me there are 32 teams and at 3 rounds that equals 96 picks not 101. Where did the extra 5 pick come from?

Just curious?

They are compensatory picks for losing free agents, I believe.

"Based on the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement:

A team is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks if it is determined that they lost more or better players than they were able to acquire during the previous year's free agency period. The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents (maximum of four).

Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula that was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a team is covered by this formula. "

I guess that is an answer?

Now I am even more confused than ever. Were they all 3rd round picks? Anyone out there want to give me a real world example?

Bonus picks come at end of 3/4/5/6/7.

Basically to get a 3rd you have to lose a stud player, preferrably a lineman, and he has to get a huge contract, and play well the next season. You dont get the picks until next year for the players you lose this year.

yes, it's an answer. I don't even know if the exact formula is published anywhere, but like someone else said it depends on the number and quality of players lost and the number signed. They are picks added to the end of round 3-7 and cannot be traded.

Here is the full list for this year:

Round 3
33. (96) Tennessee Titans
34. (97) Denver Broncos
35. (98) Seattle Seahawks
36. (99) Kansas City Chiefs
37. (100) New England Patriots
38. (101) Denver Broncos

Round 4
33. (134) St. Louis Rams
34. (135) Indianapolis Colts
35. (136) Tennessee Titans

Round 5
33. (169) Carolina Panthers
34. (170) New England Patriots
35. (171) Carolina Panthers
36. (172) Philadelphia Eagles
37. (173) Indianapolis Colts
38. (174) San Francisco 49ers

Round 6
33. (207) Carolina Panthers
34. (208) Dallas Cowboys
35. (209) Dallas Cowboys
36. (210) St. Louis Rams
37. (211) Philadelphia Eagles
38. (212) Oakland Raiders
39. (213) Baltimore Ravens
40. (214) Oakland Raiders

Round 7
33. (247) Philadelphia Eagles
34. (248) San Francisco 49ers
35. (249) San Francisco 49ers
36. (250) St. Louis Rams
