Bengals receive four compensatory draft picks

The NFL released the compensatory picks distributed for loss of free agents on Friday and the Bengals received the expected maximum four selections.

Yet, the selections received for the departure of Marvin Jones, Mohamed Sanu, Reggie Nelson and Andre Smith didn’t warrant the round selection the Bengals could have garnered.

They will now have an extra pick in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh round. The selections added for the Bengals are overall picks 138, 178, 219 and 253.

Cincinnati slotted one spot away in the formula from moving up a round with their fourth, fifth and seventh rounders received.
