Players are kept 1 round higher than the previous year (e.g., a 2016 4th round pick can be kept as a 2013 3rd round pick). The exception to this is that both 1st and 2nd round picks are kept as 1st round picks. Players are kept according to their prior year draft status even if later released and claimed off waivers or acquired as a free agent.
Players that went entirely undrafted the previous year are kept as 7th round picks.
If you don't have a pick available, then the next highest pick is used. For example, if you want to keep 2 undrafted players, then it will cost a 6th & 7th round pick to keep them.
This also means that you can't keep both your prior year's 1st & 2nd round picks unless you have two 1st round picks (and nobody does).

This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena. ![[Image: ITgoyeg.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ITgoyeg.png)
