The NFL announced compensatory picks for the 2021 draft on Wednesday. April’s selection show will feature 257 total picks — it would have been 260 if the Patriots, Raiders and Saints didn’t have to each forfeit one. The Cowboys received the most with four, but the truly big winners were the Saints, Rams and 49ers. The Saints and Rams each received two third-round selections this draft. The 49ers received a third-rounder in each of the next three drafts thanks to a new adjustment in the Rooney Rule, which gives teams compensatory picks if they have a minority coach or front office member hired away as a head coach or general manager.
