Ravens, Cowboys, Dolphins each receive four compensatory picks for 2025 NFL Draft

The NFL awarded 35 compensatory draft picks for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, with the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, and San Francisco 49ers each receiving four picks, the highest number awarded. The Ravens' picks stem from losses including Patrick Queen and Jadeveon Clowney, contributing to a total of 11 selections they hold for the draft. The Dolphins' compensatory picks are due to losing several free agents, including Robert Hunt and Christian Wilkins, bringing their total to 11 picks as well. The compensatory picks are designed to balance the league by rewarding teams that lose more or better free agents than they sign. Additionally, special third-round picks were awarded to teams that developed minority coaches or general managers under the Rooney Rule. The draft will take place from April 24 to 26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
