Which draft picks do the 49ers own in 2024?
Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports

The San Francisco 49ers were awarded five compensatory selections in the 2024 NFL Draft to help offset the disparity between free-agency losses and gains from last year. This brings the team's total number of draft picks to 11.

If you counted 12 there, more on that in a second.

San Francisco's first selection comes at No. 31 overall in the first round. The 49ers have been without a first-round pick since the 2021 draft due to the valuable selections being part of the trade package to move up and select quarterback Trey Lance.

The 49ers' first compensatory pick awarded falls in the third round, at No. 99 overall. The team acquired the selection as part of the NFL's minority-hiring initiative for coaches and executives. San Francisco lost defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans and director of player personnel Ran Carthon last year. The Houston Texans hired Ryans as their head coach, while the Tennessee Titans hired Carthon as their general manager.

However, that third-round compensatory selection was traded to the Washington Commanders this past season for defensive end Chase Young. If Young departs in free agency, the Niners will likely earn another compensatory pick in 2025.

San Francisco currently owns the following 11 selections in the upcoming draft:

  • Round 1, Pick 31 Overall
  • Round 2, Pick 63 Overall
  • Round 3, Pick 94 Overall
  • Round 4, Pick 123 Overall (via Cowboys)
  • Round 4, Pick 130 Overall
  • Round 4, Pick 132 Overall (Compensatory)
  • Round 5, Pick 175 Overall (Compensatory)
  • Round 6, Pick 211 Overall (Compensatory)
  • Round 6, Pick 215 Overall (Compensatory)
  • Round 7, Pick 232 Overall (via Broncos)
  • Round 7, Pick 251 Overall

The 49ers own two selections acquired via trades with the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos. The fourth-round selection was acquired in the trade that sent Lance to the Cowboys ahead of the 2023 season. The seventh-round pick was part of the deal with Denver to acquire defensive end Randy Gregory, which involved sending the 49ers' sixth-round pick to the Broncos.

San Francisco's fifth-round draft pick was traded to the Carolina Panthers as part of the deal for running back Christian McCaffrey.

The 2024 NFL Draft is scheduled for Thursday, April 25, through Saturday, April 27.
