The Atlanta Falcons have received four compensatory picks (a fourth-rounder and three seventh-rounders) in the 2013 NFL Draft.
The league uses a formula to determine which teams lost more or better free agents than gained the previous year.
Last season, the Falcons lost cornerback Kelvin Hayden and wide receiver Eric Weems to the Chicago Bears, linebacker Curtis Lofton to the New Orleans Saints, and safety James Sanders to the Arizona Cardinals.
With the newly awarded picks, the Falcons now have 11 selections in the upcoming draft.
