The New York Giants are now equipped with 10 draft picks in the upcoming NFL Draft in April after awarded a fifth-round compensatory selection on Friday.
A total of 32 compensatory selections were awarded to 15 teams. The Giants were awarded a fifth-round pick (171st overall).
The compensatory selections are awarded to teams based on the Compensatory Draft System’s net loss formula. Under the system, teams that suffer a net loss of compensatory free agents (CFA) during the prior free agency signing period are eligible to receive a corresponding number of compensatory selections in the following year’s draft, up to a maximum of four selections.
