What the hell? SF went 13-4 last year and gets 7. The NFL is full on woke awarding teams for poor management.
Seems like they figured out how to abuse this crap. Just trade them all for a 1st round pick and you get more next year. Rinse and repeat.
Further eroding fairness in sports. The draft was fair and balanced, worst team first, equal number of picks. So much for that.
As for the compensatory picks awarded that were not based on coaching or executive hires, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks, per the league. The compensatory picks are positioned from Round 3 to Round 7 based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost. The formula that determines compensatory free agents is based on salary, playing time and postseason honors.
