The NFL confirmed that the Detroit Lions will receive two of the 32 compensatory draft picks awarded to teams who lost free agents last year.

The Lions receive a pick at the end of the fourth round for losing cornerback Eric Wright to Tampa Bay and another pick at the end of the seventh round for losing quarterback Drew Stanton to the New York Jets (later traded to Indianapolis).

It gives the Lions a total of eight picks over the seven-round draft that will be held April 25-27.

1. Fifth pick of the first round.

2. Fourth pick of the second round.
