Browns, Packers, Jets get 4 compensatory picks Mar 26th 2012, 21:22 New York, NY –  The Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers and New York Jets were each awarded the maximum four compensatory picks in the NFL Draft. The league announced a total of 32 compensatory picks Monday. The selections, added to rounds 3-7, are handed out to teams that lost more or better compensatory free agents than it acquired in the previous year, up to a maximum of four. The Indianapolis Colts, expected to take Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck at No. 1 overall, were among three teams that received three extra picks. The Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers also received three each, while the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings were awarded two. The Ravens have been awarded more compensatory picks -- 33 -- than any other team since 1994. The Falcons, Bills, Panthers, Cowboys, Giants, Rams and Chargers all received one extra pick. The formula only netted 30 compensatory picks, so two were awarded at the end of the seventh round to the Rams and Colts to bring the number to 32.
