PHOENIX -- The Detroit Lions were awarded two compensatory picks NFL draft picks this evening.

Detroit was given a fourth-round (132nd overall) and seventh-round (245th overall) as a result of losing cornerback Eric Wright and quarterback Drew Stanton in free agency last year. A team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks. The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four.

Detroit previously traded its 2013 fourth-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings in order to move up and selected linebacker Tahir Whitehead last year. Today's compensatory pick replaces the fourth-round pick Detroit lost last year.

The NFL awarded 32 compensatory picks to 16 teams on Monday.

"It's like those commercials, more is better than less," Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said.

The NFL draft is April 25-27.

Here is Detroit's draft order:

-- 1st round (fifth pick)

-- 2nd round (fourth pick)

-- 3rd round (third pick)

-- 4th round (35th pick)

-- 5th round (fourth pick)

-- 6th round (third pick)

-- 7th round (fifth pick)

-- 7th round (39th pick)
