The Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers will all receive an NFL-high four compensatory picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, the league announced Monday.
There are 33 overall selections that will be made by 15 of the league's 32 teams at the draft in Pittsburgh from April 23-25.
A team that loses a higher quantity or quality of free agents than it brings in during the previous season may receive compensatory draft selections. Those selections are made in the third through the seventh rounds of the draft upon completion of the regular phase of that round.
The Minnesota Vikings, Eagles, Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars will have selections to close out the third round.
The Vikings have the highest selection at No. 97, while the Eagles, Steelers and Jaguars will have picks 98-100. The departure of Sam Darnold netted Minnesota the highest selection, while the losses of Milton Williams and Dan Moore, Jr. gave Philadelphia and Pittsburgh Nos. 98 and 99.
Jacksonville via Detroit receives No. 100, based on the Jets' hiring of former Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their head coach. Under a 2020 special amendment to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, a prior employer of a minority employee who has been hired as its head coach or primary football executive will receive a third-round compensatory selections in the next two drafts.
Philadelphia's other selections occur in the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds. Pittsburgh receives one pick in the fourth round and two in the sixth round, while Baltimore will make two additional selections in the fifth and seventh rounds.
Baltimore has made 64 compensatory selections since 1994, the most of any franchise.
