The Cardinals have seven picks in the upcoming draft again.
The NFL announced 2016 compensatory picks Friday, giving out 33 extra choices sprinkled at the ends of rounds three through seven. The Cardinals received an extra fifth-round pick – 170 overall, and the first of the fifth-round comp choices.
Comp picks are determined on a system based on free agents signed against free agents lost, factoring in salary and playing time.
The Cardinals benefitted by the big deal nose tackle Dan Williams signed with the Raiders and the amount he played in Oakland.
