The NFL revealed the compensatory draft picks awarded to teams for net losses in free agency. As expected, the Cleveland Browns did not receive any comp picks for the 2020 NFL Draft.
Comp picks are awarded to teams who lost more value in free agency than they gained by signing free agents. The Browns were not candidates, not after signing DT Sheldon Richardson, TE Demetrius Harris, LB Adarius Taylor and others. The only significant free agent contracts signed by ex-Browns were QB Tyrod Taylor (Chargers) and WR Breshad Perriman (Buccaneers).
More explanation on the formula from Over The Cap,
As the NFL explains, compensatory picks are awarded to teams that lose more or better compensatory free agents than they acquire. The number of picks a team can receive equals the net loss of compensatory free agents, up to a maximum of four. Compensatory free agents are determined by a secret formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. Not every free agent lost or signed is covered by the formula.
The Browns might not be completely shut out of the comp picks, however. The Houston Texans will get a third-round compensatory pick and they owe the Browns a 2020 third-rounder from the trade for RB Duke Johnson. It is currently unclear if that will be the pick the Texans convey to the Browns.
The last time the Browns earned comp picks was 2017, when they earned four.
