Compensatory draft picks can be a nice bonus for teams on draft weekend, but the Detroit Lions will not get any in the 2020 NFL Draft.

According to the latest projection from Over the Cap, the Lions will not receive any compensatory picks in 2020. It is not a surprising projection, given that the Lions were big-time buyers in free agency last offseason.

In fact, the Patriots are projected to receive the highest comp pick (at the end of the third round) because the Lions signed away DE Trey Flowers to a $90 million contract in free agency. Comp picks are awarded to teams that are net spending losers in the free agent market.

Detroit also inked TE Jesse James, WR Jermaine Kearse, CB Justin Coleman and others for far more money than any free agents who finished the 2018 campaign with Detroit earned on the open market.

The compensatory picks are made official later this winter. Over the Cap offers a very detailed process behind how comp picks are determined, if you’re curious about it.
