Packers awarded three compensatory picks for 2021 NFL draft

The Green Bay Packers will have three additional selections in the 2021 NFL draft, as the league awarded compensatory picks Wednesday.

Green Bay gained the 37th pick of the fourth round (No. 143 overall), the 33rd selection of the fifth round (No. 178 overall) and the 36th pick of the sixth round (No. 220 overall).

Compensatory picks are awarded to teams based on the players they lost and gained in free agency the previous year, with all selections occurring within the third and seventh rounds. The NFL handed out 37 compensatory picks in 2021, although none were in the seventh round.

Green Bay lost offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga and linebackers Kyler Fackrell, B.J. Goodson and Blake Martinez to free agency last offseason.

The Packers now own 10 total picks in the 2021 draft, which is scheduled to begin April 29.
