The 49ers have 11 draft picks to work with for the April 25-27 selection show in Detroit.
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch speaks to the media ahead of the NFL Draft at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Monday, April 22, 2019. SANTA CLARA — The 49ers now own 11 picks in next month’s NFL Draft, an abundance of assets should they choose to trade up on draft weekend.
Friday brought five compensatory picks the 49ers’ way. The highest of that group – third round, No. 99 overall – is already ticketed for Washington via October’s trade acquisition of defensive end Chase Young. That pick originally came via the NFL’s minority hiring incentive, a reward for the departures of Ran Carthon and DeMeco Ryans .
The 49ers own a first-round pick for the first time since 2021, when they selected Trey Lance at No. 3 overall for what essentially was a two-year tryout; Lance got dealt to Dallas last August for a fourth-round pick in next month’s draft, which will be held in Detroit. The compensatory picks also assured the 49ers of a spot in at least each round. General manager John Lynch has swung at least one trade in every of the past seven drafts except in 2022.Both the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles joined the 49ers in receiving four compensatory picks, the most in the NFL, for player movement in 2023 free agency.
