On Sunday, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan lost one of his most valuable assistants, offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. The Miami Dolphins are naming McDaniel their new head coach, replacing Brian Flores.

Since McDaniel is multiracial, the 49ers will receive two third-round compensatory picks under the league program to reward teams for developing minority coaches. The first will come this year, and the second in 2023.

The 49ers are projected to own nine selections in the upcoming draft, with the first coming in the second round. San Francisco traded away its first-round picks in the next two drafts to move into position to acquire Trey Lance last year.

According to Over The Cap, the 49ers are projected to own the following nine selections in the upcoming draft. The overall position of many picks will shift downward once the NFL hands out compensatory selections. Please note that this is just a projection for now. A lot could happen between now and the start of the 2022 NFL Draft.

  • Round 2, Overall Pick 61
  • Round 3, Overall Pick 93
  • Round 3 (compensatory pick for McDaniel)
  • Round 4, Overall Pick 133
  • Round 5, Overall Pick 172
  • Round 6, Overall Pick 186 (from Broncos for LB Jonas Griffith)
  • Round 7 (compensatory pick)
  • Round 7 (compensatory pick)
  • Round 7 (compensatory pick)

The compensatory picks in the seventh round would come for the losses of defensive linemen Solomon Thomas and Kerry Hyder and quarterback C.J. Beathard last offseason.

The losses of wide receiver Kendrick Bourne and cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon were offset by the additions of pass rusher Samson Ebukam and center Alex Mack.

By David Bonilla

Brandon Aiyuk appears open to the possibility of playing elsewhere in 2024. If the San Francisco 49ers can't negotiate a favorable long-term deal with their star receiver, he knows someone else will. However, the 49ers primarily aim to retain Aiyuk for the long haul. The team exercised the fifth-year option on his contract but seeks to secure an extension before he retakes the field. General manager John Lynch recently praised Aiyuk, calling him one of his "favorite guys around the building." "He's a competitor. He's a warrior," Lynch added. "He plays with such physicality, also with grace, in the way some of the positions his body can get into. And then he's got a flair
