NFL teams are typically awarded compensatory drafts picks when they lose more talent in free agency they actually acquired.
This the offseason the New York Giants didn’t add any free agents, but they lost defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins to the Indianpolis Colts.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com is predicting that the Giants will end up with one compensatory pick for the 2018 NFL Draft.
Projected compensatory picks: One — Round 4
Key free-agent losses:Johnathan Hankins (Colts)
Key free-agent additions: None
Skinny: The departure of Hankins to the Colts should cement a fourth-round compensatory pick for the Giants.
