Packers to Miss Out on Possibility of Next Great Compensatory Pick

It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, but the Green Bay Packers were awarded zero compensatory draft picks for the 2020 NFL Draft on Tuesday. This is now the second straight year the team did receive a single compensatory draft pick.

Compensatory picks are awarded to teams who lose more players than they sign in free agency. The formula is used to help offset potential losses a team may have suffered on the open market with the best compensatory picks starting at the end of the third round.

Considering the moves General Manager M Brian Gutekunst made last offseason, it’s not hard to see why Green Bay failed to luck out this year.
