The NFL announced the compensatory draft picks for this year, and, as expected, the San Francisco 49ers did not receive any additional selections. That means the 49ers still have six total picks in next month's draft and lack a selection between rounds one and five.
The New England Patriots received the most compensatory picks this year with four, including two third-rounders. Six other teams each received three additional selections, including the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. They received third-, fourth-, and sixth-round selections. Another NFC West team, the Los Angeles Rams, received a third-rounder.
In total, 32 compensatory picks were awarded.
Compensatory picks are awarded to teams that lost more valuable free agents than they gained the year before. That was not the case for the 49ers in 2019.
San Francisco owns the following selections in the 2020 NFL Draft.
- Round 1, Pick 31
- Round 5, Pick 156 (from Broncos)
- Round 5, Pick 176
- Round 6, Pick 210
- Round 7, Pick 217 (from Lions)
- Round 7, Pick 245
The 49ers traded their second-round pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for pass rusher Dee Ford last offseason, and then sent their third- and fourth-rounders to the Denver Broncos in October in exchange for wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders.
Sanders is scheduled to become a free agent next week and stated on Monday that the
49ers have not made an offer to him nor have they initiated contract talks.

Are these the 49ers' ideal top 2 draft picks?
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than two weeks away, NFL Media draft analyst Chad Reuter recently identified the ideal top two draft picks for each team. The San Francisco 49ers have 10 selections in the upcoming draft, with their first two picks at No. 31 overall and No. 63.
Reuter noted, "I kept some semblance of realism in this process, however, assigning each player only once and making reasonable projections of where prospects may be selected."
Who are the standout picks for the 49ers? Reuter envisions the team addressing both offense and defense with their initial selections. It's widely anticipated that San Francisco will bolster its offensive line with
Six worst first-round draft picks in 49ers' history
It is less than two weeks away from the 2024 NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers finally have a first-round draft pick, after not having one the last two years. Who will they select? Will it be a defensive player? An offensive player? They could use help on the offensive line and in the secondary and defensive line. And they may also have multiple holes to fill a year from now.
Either way, the 49ers need to hit on these draft picks, especially in the early rounds, where they haven't always been at their best. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have some first-round misses, like DT Solomon Thomas and LB Rueben Foster. But are those the worst first-round picks in team history? Neither made this list, though some will argue that Thomas should be on it, mainly because he was taken
Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
49ers sign WR Trent Taylor, reuniting with former draft pick
The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of wide receiver Trent Taylor to a one-year deal, reuniting with the team's former fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area was the first to report that the 49ers were discussing a potential reunion with Taylor. The receiver was part of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's first draft class in 2017 and spent his first four NFL seasons with the team.
