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.
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.
