49ers set to own 10 picks in the 2021 NFL Draft

Jan 15, 2021 at 8:56 AM--


The hiring of Robert Saleh by the New York Jets means that the San Francisco 49ers are set to receive two compensatory third-round picks, one coming in each of the next two drafts. That means, as of right now, general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan are set to own the following 10 picks in the upcoming draft.

It is important to note that while the current overall pick numbers are listed below, the selections from the fourth round will shift downward once the NFL awards compensatory selections.

  • Round 1, Pick 12
  • Round 2, Pick 43
  • Round 3 (compensatory pick)
  • Round 4, Pick 108
  • Round 5, Pick 139
  • Round 5, Pick 157 (via NO)
  • Round 5 (compensatory pick)
  • Round 6, Pick 170
  • Round 7, Pick 194 (via NYJ)
  • Round 7, Pick 204

As stated, the third-round selection comes thanks to the Jets' hiring of Saleh and the NFL's minority-hiring program. It will be the team's only third-round pick after trading its own selection to Washington as part of the deal to acquire offensive tackle Trent Williams.

According to Over The Cap, San Francisco is expected to receive a compensatory fifth-round pick for losing wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders in free agency last offseason. The team owns its own fifth-rounder and received another from the New Orleans Saints as part of linebacker Kwon Alexander's trade.

The additional seventh-round selection comes courtesy of the 49ers trading a 2022 sixth-round pick to the Jets in exchange for defensive end Jordan Willis and the 2021 draft pick.

The NFL has penalized the San Francisco 49ers for payroll accounting errors that occurred at the end of the 2022 league year. This has led to the team forfeiting their fifth-round draft pick in 2025 and a reduction in their fourth-round pick in the upcoming draft. San Francisco's fourth-round selection, initially No. 131 overall, now shifts down four spots to the end of the round at No. 135, following the compensatory picks from that round. Despite this setback, the 49ers still possess 10 selections in the 2024 NFL Draft but will be short a pick next year.

49ers to host Marshawn Kneeland and Jamal Hill on pre-draft visits

By David Bonilla

The San Francisco 49ers' evaluation of draft prospects is underway. As part of their assessment, the team will welcome two players for visits: former Western Michigan edge rusher Marshawn Kneeland and former Oregon safety Jamal Hill. San Francisco recently agreed to terms on two-year deals with defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos, bolstering its pass rush. However, after losing Clelin Ferrell in free agency and facing the likelihood of Chase Young playing elsewhere in 2024, the team appears keen on adding more explosiveness along the edges through the draft. Kneeland registered 57 tackles, including 7.5 for a loss, 4.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 10 game appearances with Western Michigan as a senior in 2023, per
