NFL Adjusts 2025 Draft Picks, Dolphins Lose One to Saints

A recalculation of compensatory draft picks reduces Miami's total selections to 10, awarding a seventh-round pick to New Orleans.

The NFL Management Council recalculated 2025 compensatory draft picks, removing a seventh-round pick from the Miami Dolphins and awarding it to the New Orleans Saints.
Miami now has 10 total draft picks, including three compensatory selections, after initially being awarded four compensatory picks earlier in the week.
The adjustment was due to a miscalculation in the compensatory pick formula, which evaluates player losses and gains during free agency.
The recalibration also affected the Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Chargers, who saw their seventh-round compensatory picks moved back by one selection.
Compensatory draft picks are awarded to teams that lose more or higher-value free agents than they acquire, with a total of 35 such picks distributed across 16 teams this year.
