Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors.   \n\nThe Steelers lost Kelvin Beachum, Antwon Blake, Will Johnson, Steve McLendon and Sean Spence. They signed Ladarius Green and Ryan Harris.    \n\nCompensatory picks can be traded for the first time this year and are awarded in rounds three through seven.  \n\nThe compensatory picks began in 1994 and the Steelers have been awarded a total of 32 since then.\n\nThe following is a complete list of the 2017 compensatory picks.\n    Round Pick Overall Team   3 33 97 Miami   3 34 98 Carolina   3 35 99 Baltimore   3 36 100 Los Angeles Rams   3 37 101 Denver   3 38 102 Seattle   3 39 103 Cleveland   3 40 104 Kansas City   3 41 105 Pittsburgh   3 42 106 Seattle   3 43 107 New York Jets   4 32 138 Cincinnati   4 33 139 Cleveland   4 35 141* Los Angeles Rams   4 36 142 Cleveland   4 37 143 San Francisco   4 38 144 Indianapolis   5 33 178 Cincinnati   5 34 179 Denver   5 35 180 Miami   5 36 181 Arizona   5 37 182 Kansas City   5 38 183 Cleveland   5 39 184 Green Bay   5 40 185 New England   5 41 186 Miami   6 33 218 Kansas City   6 34 219 Cincinnati   6 35 220 Kansas City   7 33 253 Cincinnati   7 34 254 Denver   7 35 255 Denver"
