In the broadest sense, the formula determines each team’s compensatory picks based on net losses versus gains in free agency each year. The NFL allots 32 compensatory picks total every year, with the picks ranging anywhere from third round through the seventh. No team can get more than four picks in any draft.

Good news!

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a weird spot entering the NFL draft. They have a good all-around roster but have some huge roles at significant positions. One such hole is at quarterback, where they currently have Mason Rudolph as the starter.
