Ian Rapoport of NFL Network provided a look at the free agents who qualified:

The Houston Texans gained three picks after losing Christian Covington, Kareem Jackson, Kendall Lamm and Tyrann Mathieu.

The New England Patriots led all teams with four picks, including two in the third round after losing key free agents like Trey Flowers and Malcom Brown.

If quarterback Tom Brady leaves in free agency, you can assume the team will be rewarded with some compensatory picks in the 2021 draft as well.

This process has existed since 1994, providing consolation for teams who lose key players in the offseason.

The Baltimore Ravens have especially taken advantage of the rule, earning a league-high 52 picks in the last 27 years, including two this season.

With the depth available in the 2020 draft class, teams have a chance to really benefit from these selections in April.
