Under the rules for compensatory draft selections, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors, according to the league. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula.Three clubs this year (Atlanta, San Diego and Buffalo) will each receive a compensatory pick even though they did not suffer a net loss of compensatory free agents last year. Under the formula, the compensatory free agents lost by these clubs were ranked higher than the ones they signed (by a specified point differential based upon salary and performance).MAIOCCO: Analyzing the 49ers defense and special teams
