General manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan will pick a little later in the fourth round and lose a pick in the fifth in 2025 by virtue of NFL punishment.The 49ers will pick a little later in the fourth round this year and will forfeit a fifth-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft after being penalized by the NFL for payroll accounting errors at the close of the 2022 league year.
The punishment amounts to a slap on the wrist for this year’s draft from April 25-27 in Detroit. Instead of picking at No. 131 overall, the 49ers were pushed to the very end of the round following compensatory picks at No. 136.“This action resulted from a league review that found administrative payroll accounting errors at the close of the 2022 league year that resulted in a misreporting of the club’s cumulative player compensation,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an email.
The 49ers have 10 selections in this year’s NFL Draft, starting with the No. 31 overall selection in the first round. They have three picks in the fourth round, including No. 124 from Dallas in exchange for quarterback Trey Lance, and two picks in the sixth round.Click to print Dear Abby: If your house is on fire, you get a pass.
