NFL awards compensatory picks in draft
April 1, 2002
|
| What follows are the 32 compensatory draft picks for the 2002 NFL draft.
They were awarded to teams that suffered a net loss of certain quality unrestricted free
agents from last offseason. The compensatory choices will be added to the 229 choices
already part of the draft, with picks positioned between Rounds Three and Seven based on
the value of the free agent lost. Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula
based on salary and performance. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council.
Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula. Compensatory
picks cannot be traded. Choices are listed by round with the overall selection in
parentheses:
3 (97) Buffalo
3 (98) Arizona
4 (132) Minnesota
4 (133) Tennessee

the draft-order formula in order to fulfill the number of draft choices permitted by
agreement with the NFL Players Association in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
