ALAMEDA, Calif. -- This should help Jon Gruden get things rolling, right?

The Oakland Raiders were awarded an NFL-high four compensatory draft picks by the league on Friday, giving them 11 total picks in April’s draft.

All four selections will come at the end of the sixth round -- Nos. 36, 38, 42 and 43 of the round, Nos. 210, 212, 216 and 217 overall.

With 11 total picks, it is the most the Raiders have had since they also had 11 selections in 2007.

The Raiders also have draft picks in the first round (either No. 9 or No. 10, pending a coin flip with the San Francisco 49ers at the combine next week), second round, third round, fourth round, two more in the sixth round (for a total of six in the sixth) and in the seventh.

Oakland traded its fifth-round selection to the Seattle Seahawks last spring for the rights to Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks’ sixth-rounder.

The Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers were also awarded four comp picks, based on a formula that takes into account a “net loss” of free agents from the previous year. The Raiders, for example, lost running back Latavius Murray, linebacker Malcolm Smith, receiver/special-teams gunner Andre Holmes, right tackle Menelik Watson, cornerback DJ Hayden and special-teamer Brynden Trawick, who went to the Pro Bowl for Tennessee.
