On Monday, the Giants were awarded a compensatory pick for the 2014 NFL draft. It gives two choices for a pick of the fifth round and seven overall. 

 The compensatory pick is decided when a team loses more free agents the previous year than free agents they receive as a result. 
 
The pick that the Giants received from the compensatory pick in the draft is the 34th and 174th overall. The Giants would have had a pick in the seventh round but they traded Jon Beason to Carolina back in October. 
 
Per press release, the Giants have the current draft picks:
 

Round              Choice in Round                      Overall

1                                  12                                   12

2                                  11                                   43
