"49ers and Cowboys Among Big Winners of 2024 NFL Draft Compensatory Picks"
The NFL has awarded 34 compensatory picks to 14 teams for the 2024 NFL Draft, including two special selections at the end of the third round to the Rams and 49ers, in recognition of their minority employee hires as head coaches or primary football executives by other clubs. The compensatory picks, separate from the special selections, are based on a formula considering the value of compensatory free agents lost, and range from Round 3 to Round 7. This initiative aims to promote equal employment opportunities within NFL teams as per the 2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement.
