The Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday received three compensatory picks for the upcoming 2022 NFL Draft.

Arizona was awarded a sixth-rounder (No. 215) for Kenyan Drake’s two-year, $11 million signing with Las Vegas last offseason, while tight end Dan Arnold’s two-year deal with the Carolina Panthers worth $6 million and defensive end Angelo Blackson’s two-year contract with the Chicago Bears for $5.5 million netted the Cardinals two seventh-round picks (No. 256 and No. 257).

Patrick Peterson’s and Haason Reddick’s departures were canceled out by the additions of A.J. Green and Matt Prater.

If departing players aren’t canceled out money-wise by new signings, then that team will be awarded additional picks anywhere from the third to seventh rounds depending on value. Teams cannot receive more than four compensatory picks.

Aside from the projected compensatory selections, the Cardinals have a pick in the first, second, third, sixth and seventh rounds of the upcoming NFL Draft.

All told, Arizona currently holds eight picks.

The Cardinals shipped off their fourth-rounder as part of a trade package with the Baltimore Ravens during the 2021 NFL Draft to move up and select cornerback Marco Wilson, who turned out to be a starter in the secondary this season.

The Cardinals also sent a fifth-round selection in a trade package to the Philadelphia Eagles in return for tight end Zach Ertz during the season.
