ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – After a “recalculation’’ the Denver Broncos still have four compensatory picks in this year’s NFL draft, it’s just one of the four picks isn’t quite as good as it was just two days ago.

In what the league called a “database error,’’ the NFL’s management council, which oversees issues concerning contracts, free agency and salary cap matters, informed the Broncos Wednesday a sixth-round pick the Broncos had received Monday – the 208th pick overall – was moved into the seventh round, to 250th overall. The Broncos now have three consecutive picks – Nos. 250, 251 and 252 – in the seventh round.

Their other compensatory pick is in the fourth round, at No. 133 overall. The Broncos still have 10 picks overall – one each in the first, second, third, fourth and sixth rounds to go with two picks in the fifth round and the three in seventh.

The math of compensatory picks is based on a team’s net free agency losses in the previous season, so the Broncos’ picks are based on their net free agency losses last year. Since 2000 the Broncos have had four draft classes with at least 10 players selected – 2000, 2003, 2004 and 2009 -- and this will be the first time the Broncos have had more than two compensatory picks in any draft.

Broncos executive vice president of football operations/general manager John Elway has consistently expressed his belief the Broncos would get four compensatory picks, giving the team 10 picks overall. Compensatory picks cannot be traded so the Broncos’ ability to move around the board is not impact by Wednesday’s change, but the Broncos did lose a little draft value along the way with the pick being moved down a full round.

Last year the Broncos signed Aqib Talib, DeMarcus Ware, T.J. Ward and Emmanuel Sanders in free agency. All four players went on to play in the Pro Bowl.

However, in terms of compensatory math, Ware did not count as an acquisition because he had been released by the Dallas Cowboys before free agency officially opened.

The Broncos' losses in free agency before the 2014 season included wide receiver Eric Decker (Jets), guard Zane Beadles (Jaguars), Mike Adams (Colts), Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (Giants), Wesley Woodyard (Titans) and Jeremy Mincey (Cowboys). All of those players were starters for their new teams. The Broncos’ departures also included Robert Ayers, Knowshon Moreno (finished season on injured reserve) and Shaun Phillips, players who had significant playing time at some point during the season.

Ayers played in 12 games for the Giants in '14, with one start, while Phillips played in 16 games for the Titans and Colts combined with one start. Moreno's year with the Miami Dolphins ended early in the season because of injuries.

First round: 28th overall.
