The San Francisco 49ers
pulled off a blockbuster on Friday, March 26, acquiring the No. 3 overall draft pick from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for the No. 12 overall pick, a 2022 third-round pick, and first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. Obviously, the team has its eyes on one of the top quarterback prospects in next month's draft.
What selections does San Francisco currently own in the 2021 NFL Draft? Below is an updated list of the team's picks.
- Round 1, Pick 3
- Round 2, Pick 11, 43 overall
- Round 3, Pick 39, 102 overall (compensatory pick)
- Round 4, Pick 12, 117 overall
- Round 5, Pick 11, 155 overall
- Round 5, Pick 28, 172 overall (from NO)
- Round 5, Pick 36, 180 overall (compensatory pick)
- Round 6, Pick 10, 194 overall
- Round 7, Pick 2, 230 overall (from NYJ)
No. 3 overall pick
The 49ers acquired this selection via a March 26 trade with the Miami Dolphins, which ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported. Schefter initially reported that San Francisco surrendered its third-round compensatory pick in this year's draft as part of the trade. However, Schefter later clarified that the team actually traded its third-round pick in next year's draft.
Own third-round pick is missing
The 49ers lack their own third-round pick, which was part of last year's trade for offensive tackle
Trent Williams.
Third-round compensatory pick
This is the first of two compensatory picks awarded to the 49ers this year. It was received as part of the NFL's minority-hiring program after the New York Jets hired former 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as their head coach.
Extra fifth-round pick
San Francisco received a fifth-round pick from the New Orleans Saints as part of linebacker Kwon Alexander's trade.
Fifth-round compensatory pick
The fifth-round compensatory pick was awarded for the loss of wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders last year.
Extra seventh-round pick
San Francisco received a seventh-round pick from the New York Jets as part of the trade for defensive end Jordan Willis.
Own seventh-round pick is missing
The 49ers lost their own seventh-round pick (No. 237 overall) when Marquise Goodwin reverted back to the team from the Philadelphia Eagles following last year's trade of the wide receiver. San Francisco and Philadelphia initially swapped 2020 sixth-round picks in the deal. Goodwin opted out of last season due to COVID-19 and did not play a snap with the Eagles, resulting in the receiver reverting to the 49ers due to the contract terms.

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
Could the 49ers trade up in the draft for a top tackle?
The San Francisco 49ers are likely hoping that a top offensive lineman drops to them at No. 31 in the first round of this month's draft. Fans would like to see the team add someone to compete with Colton McKivitz for the right tackle spot and potentially take over for Trent Williams when the future Hall of Famer decides to retire.
Having two studs bookending the offensive line would go a long way in protecting franchise quarterback Brock Purdy. While tackle may be the first-round target, depending on how the first 30 selections play out, San Francisco might have to trade up to get a genuinely impactful
