For the sixth year in a row, the New Orleans Saints will not receive any compensatory picks in the upcoming NFL draft.
The league announced Friday that 15 teams will receive a total of 32 compensatory selections, but the Saints will not be among them.
Compensatory picks are rewarded based on a formula that compares what a team lost or gained in free agency the previous year, looking at both salaries and on-field performance. The highest compensatory pick comes at the end of the third round with this year's being 97rd overall.
Four teams -- the Bengals, Cowboys, Packers and Raiders -- received four compensatory picks, which range from the end of the third round to the end of the seventh.
