The Packers will receive three compensatory picks for this year's draft after losing Allen Lazard, Jaran Reed and Dean Lowry in free agency last year. 

Green Bay was awarded a 5th round pick, number 168 overall, a 6th round pick, number 219 overall, and a 7th round pick, number 255 overall. They now have eleven selections total in April's draft.

Robert Tonyan's deal with Chicago (one-year, $2.65 million) ended up not contributing to the compensatory formula. 

Under the rules for compensatory draft selections, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents (“CFA”) than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks. The compensatory picks will be positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost. Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors.

The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula. Clubs that suffer a net loss of CFAs during the prior free agent signing period are eligible to receive a corresponding number of compensatory selections. In addition, a club that lost the same number of CFAs that it gained (no net loss), may be eligible to receive a selection at the end of round seven based on the value of the CFAs lost versus the value of the CFAs gained. 

The CBA limits the number of compensatory selections to the number of clubs then in the League (32). This year, the Packers along with the Cowboys and Jaguars qualified for a compensatory selection under the net loss formula but will not receive that pick because the final numerical value of the CFA who was lost ranked 33rd or lower among the final numerical values of all compensatory selections.
