The NFL awarded a total of 37 picks to 16 teams Thursday, which included a league-high seven to the San Francisco 49ers and four to the Los Angeles Rams.
The compensatory formula takes into account the caliber and number of free agents a team lost and signed the previous year. It also considers salaries, playing time, and postseason honors. Players who are released before the end of their contracts aren't part of the calculation.
The Niners, Cleveland Browns, and Kansas City Chiefs received special compensatory picks under the NFL's minority coach and general manager initiative.
The 2023 NFL Draft will take place April 27-29 in Kansas City.
