i think that its basically if you loose more 'good' players to free agency than you bring in through in free agency then in the following draft you will gain extra picks.
e.g. in 2012 Free Agency the Texans lost Mario Williams, who was considered a top pass rusher because of his many post-season awards (e.g. Pro-Bowl and All-Pro), but they didn't bring in any players of equal or better ability compared to Mario. Therefore they are awarded extra picks by the league in the 2013 Draft! |

Taken from good ole Wikipedia :
In addition to the 32 selections in each of the seven rounds, a total of 32 compensatory picks are awarded to teams that have lost more or better compensatory free agents than they signed in the previous year.[58] Teams that gain and lose the same number of players but lose higher-valued players than they gain also can be awarded a pick, but only in the seventh round, after the other compensatory picks. Compensatory picks cannot be traded, and the placement of the picks is determined by a proprietary formula based on the player's salary, playing time, and postseason honors with his new team, with salary being the primary factor. So, for example, a team that lost a linebacker who signed for $2.5 million per year in free agency might get a sixth-round compensatory pick, while a team that lost a wide receiver who signed for $5 million per year might receive a fourth-round pick. awarded at the ends of Rounds 3 through 7 If fewer than 32 such picks are awarded, the remaining picks are awarded in the order in which teams would pick in a hypothetical eighth round of the draft (These are known as "supplemental compensatory selections"). Compensatory picks are awarded each year at the NFL annual meeting which is held at the end of March; typically, about three or four weeks before the draft. |
