The lowest two picks handed out went to the Buccaneers

The Cardinals (3), Texans (3) and Vikings (2) were the only other teams that received multiple compensatory picks. The highest awarded pick went to NFL Coins the Cardinals, who were given the 97th overall selection in the draft for losing several free agents last year, including Calais Cambell, D.J. Swearinger and Tony Jefferson.

The lowest two picks handed out went to the Buccaneers and Falcons, who were given the final two picks of this year's draft. The compensatory pick for Atlanta gives the Falcons the final pick of the 2018 draft, which means, barring a trade, they'll be selecting Mr. Irrelevant this year.

One other twist with compensatory picks is that teams are actually allowed to trade them this year. Trading compensatory picks was illegal until last year when the NFL decided to change the rule and allow teams to swap picks. The 2017 draft was the first time that trading compensatory picks was allowed.
