The San Francisco 49ers added nine new players during the three days of the 2022 NFL Draft, which wrapped up on Saturday. Their first selection didn't come until the No. 61 overall pick in the second round when the team added USC defensive end Drake Jackson. The 49ers went on to select three more defensive players and five offensive players.

Surprisingly, the 49ers didn't trade any draft picks over the three-day event. The team typically likes to move around during drafts.

Below is a complete list of the 49ers' 2022 selections in the order in which they were drafted. You can click on the names for more information on each new player.

Drake Jackson, DE

Now, the 49ers will get to work on signing the members of the new draft class. Thanks to the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which was ratified in 2020 and extends through the 2030 season, all rookie contracts are for a length of four years.

First-round selections come with an option for a fifth year, which doesn't apply to the 49ers with this rookie class. NFL teams with players selected in the first round are required to activate the player's fifth-year option before the fourth and final year of the rookie deal.

Having set numbers for each spot eliminates the need to negotiate salaries and only leaves items like bonus payment terms, roster bonus allocations, and other miscellaneous structural items. It's those extra items that can stall an agreement.

The 49ers will have an estimated rookie pool of $7,727,220 in 2022, according to OverTheCap.com's estimations.

PFF mock draft has 49ers adding cornerback with 'unique fluidity and size'

By David Bonilla
Apr 10

Analyst Steve Palazzolo unveiled a first-round mock draft for Pro Football Focus, attempting to forecast the selections for each NFL team within the top 32 picks. While the San Francisco 49ers concentrated on strengthening the defensive line in free agency, Palazzolo envisions the team continuing to fortify that side of the ball. In his mock draft, Palazzolo predicts that the 49ers will select former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick. "Tampa's unique fluidity and size for a cornerback make him worthy of a top-75 pick," reads the analysis from Pro Football Focus' big board. "If he can clean up his footwork, he can

49ers address both sides of the ball in Kiper and Yates 3-round mock draft

We're just 10 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. While many gain more confidence about their projections for the top of the first round, the picture of what might happen further down remains murky. Most predict the San Francisco 49ers will use their first selection, No. 31 overall, on an offensive lineman. However, an early run on the position may alter those plans. The 49ers may address another position, or they may have to move up to secure a top prospect. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates recently revealed a joint three-round mock draft, examining the top 100 selections and forecasting

Schrager mock draft has 49ers adding 'universally liked and respected' receiver

By David Bonilla
Apr 16

With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent. Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries. "McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
