The San Francisco 49ers are up to six selections in the upcoming draft. The team was awarded a sixth-round compensatory pick (No. 212 overall) to go along with its own first-, second-, third-, fourth-, and sixth-round picks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. It comes due to the loss of linebacker Aaron Lynch, who signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears on March 15, 2018, and appeared in 13 games with three starts this past season.

The 49ers are without fifth- and seventh-round selections. They traded their fifth-rounder to the Detroit Lions before the start of the 2017 season for guard Laken Tomlinson. Their seventh-rounder went to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for tackle Shon Coleman before the start of the 2018 season.
Compensatory picks are now tradable assets thanks to a rule change for last year's draft. The 49ers could have been awarded additional seventh-round compensatory selections due to the losses of cornerback Leon Hall and tight end Logan Paulsen, but the maximum of 32 extra picks was already awarded.
