The Broncos were awarded three compensatory draft picks by the NFL on Tuesday, giving them 11 total selections in next month’s draft.
The Broncos were given a fifth-rounder (No. 178) and two seventh-round selections (Nos. 252 and 254).
Thirty-two compensatory picks are distributed to teams each year based on a formula based on last year’s free agency and the players (in quality and/or quantity) a team loses. The Broncos lost Shaq Barrett, Tramaine Brock, Max Garcia, Matt Paradis, Bradley Roby and Billy Turner and added Bryce Callahan, Kareem Jackson and Ja’Wuan James.
