Ravens, Falcons earn draft picks

PHOENIX (AP)

Win a Super Bowl, get rewarded in the draft.

That's what happened to the Baltimore Ravens, who on Monday were awarded four compensatory picks in April's draft.

The Atlanta Falcons also got four selections for free agents they lost in 2012.

San Francisco, which lost 34-31 to Baltimore for the NFL title, will get three picks, as will Tennessee.

FREE FOR ALL

Now that NFL free agency is open, who is signing where? Find out in our updating blog.

Compensatory selections have been awarded since 1994 to teams losing more or better free agents than it acquires in the previous year. Baltimore lost Ben Grubbs, Jarret Johnson, Brandon McKinney, Haruki Nakamura, Cory Redding and Tom Zbikowski, and signed Sean Considine and Corey Graham.

Atlanta lost Kelvin Hayden, Curtis Lofton, James Sanders and Eric Weems while it didn't sign anyone in 2012.

The highest compensatory pick of the 32 awarded this year is Houston's at No. 95 overall, followed by Kansas City at No. 96 and the Titans with the 97th spot.

The Texans saw star defensive end Mario Williams sign with Buffalo, while the Chiefs lost top cornerback Brandon Carr to Dallas, and the Titans had CB Cortland Finnegan go to St. Louis.

Collecting two picks apiece will be Houston, Cincinnati, Detroit, Kansas City, Miami and Seattle.

Green Bay, Indianapolis, the New York Giants, Oakland, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh each received one selection. The Colts' compensatory slot will be the final pick, No. 254.

Since 1994, Baltimore has received the most compensatory choices, 37, followed by Green Bay with 30. Houston and Cleveland have gotten the least, six, but the Browns entered the league in 1999 and the Texans in 2002.

The 32 compensatory draft choices in the 2013 NFL Draft (April 25-27) awarded to teams that suffered a net loss of certain quality unrestricted free agents last year. The compensatory choices will supplement the 222 choices in the regular seven rounds of the draft, with picks positioned within the third through the seventh rounds based on the value of the free agent lost. Choices listed by round with overall selection in parentheses:
