DMN Blog: Cowboys get 2 compensation picks

by Todd Archer

The NFL just announced the compensatory picks and the Cowboys have been awarded fifth and sixth round selections in next month's draft.

The Cowboys were given the picks for losing running back Julius Jones to Seattle and cornerback Jacques Reeves to Houston last year in free agency.

The Cowboys now have 11 picks in the draft with one pick in the second round, two in the third, two in the fourth, three in the fifth, two in the sixth and two in the seventh round.

Compensatory picks cannot be traded.
