NFL ANNOUNCES 32 COMPENSATORY DRAFT CHOICES TO 14 CLUBS
A total of 32 compensatory choices in the 2005 NFL Draft have been
awarded to 14 teams, the NFL announced today.
Under terms of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, a team losing
more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in a year is
eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.
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 223 choices in the seven rounds
of the 2005 NFL Draft (April 23-24). 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 formula was developed by the NFL
Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered
by this formula.
The following 2005 draft picks have been determined by the NFL Management
Council:
