Complete List of the San Francisco 49ers 2023 NFL Draft Picks
Mar 10, 2023 at 1:33 PM

The San Francisco 49ers own 11 total draft picks in the 2023 NFL Draft. Only two are their own initial ones, though. The team acquired two more via trades.
This week, the NFL awarded the Niners three third-round compensatory picks via the NFL's minority-hiring program for coaches or executives. In addition, San Francisco was awarded four more compensatory picks for free agent losses during the 2022 offseason.
Below is a list of San Francisco's 11 draft picks, followed by an explanation of how the team acquired the additional picks.
- Round 3, Pick 99 (Compensatory)
- Round 3, Pick 101 (Compensatory)
- Round 3, Pick 102 (Compensatory)
- Round 5, Pick 155 (via Dolphins)
- Round 5, Pick 164
- Round 5, Pick 173 (Compensatory)
- Round 6, Pick 216 (Compensatory)
- Round 7, Pick 222 (via Broncos)
- Round 7, Pick 247
- Round 7, Pick 253 (Compensatory)
- Round 7, Pick 255 (Compensatory)
The 49ers acquired a fifth-round pick by trading running back Jeff Wilson Jr. to the Miami Dolphins. A seventh-round pick came by dealing linebacker Jonas Griffith to the Denver Broncos.
The three third-round compensatory picks are for the departures of head coaches Robert Saleh (New York Jets, 2021), Mike McDaniel (Miami Dolphins, 2022), and DeMeco Ryans (Houston Texans, 2023), as well as general managers Martin Mayhew (Washington Commanders, 2021) and Ran Carthon (Tennessee Titans, 2023).
A 2024 compensatory pick awaits the Niners for the loss of Carthon, along with another in 2025 for Ryans' departure.
In 2022, San Francisco lost defensive linemen D.J. Jones and Arden Key, running back Raheem Mostert, guard Laken Tomlinson, and cornerback K'Waun Williams to free agency. One of those players was offset by the addition of cornerback
Charvarius Ward in the NFL's formula for compensatory picks, resulting in the four additional picks for players lost.
The 2023 NFL Draft begins on Thursday, April 27. However, the 49ers won't pick until late on Friday, April 28, due to the team lacking a first- or second-round pick.

NFL Network to live broadcast two 49ers preseason games in 2023
The NFL announced that two San Francisco 49ers exhibition games would be part of the 23 preseason games to air live on NFL Network in 2023.
The first live broadcast will be the team's preseason opener against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff for that game is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. PT on Sunday, August 13.
The second live broadcast will be the 49ers' preseason finale against the Los Angeles Chargers at Levi's Stadium. That game is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. PT on Friday, August 25.

Adam Rank projects 49ers' 2023 MVP, breakout star, says it's "Super Bowl or bust for the team"
NFL Media personality Adam Rank recently published his "State of the 2023 San Francisco 49ers" feature for NFL.com, an annual look at the state of the franchise and projections for the upcoming season. Among those predictions are the team's most valuable player and breakout star.
Christian McCaffrey is the most obvious choice for MVP, and he's the guy Rank selected. The star running back was traded in late October to the 49ers and still contributed 1,210 total yards and 10 total touchdowns with his new team, totaling an impressive 1,880 yards and 13 touchdowns on the season.
Rank can't wait to see what McCaffrey does for an encore
Trent Williams vs. Nick Bosa: Who is more valuable to the 49ers in 2023?
It's that time of the offseason.
The draft has come and gone, OTAs have just started up, but several months still remain between now and the first snap of the 2023 season. Given the lull in breaking news and big games, it's a good time to get a bit more... philosophical.
Today, I wanted to compare two of the 49ers' most consistent talents of the 2022 season - veteran LT Trent Williams and reigning DPOY Nick Bosa. The question is simple; given a full, healthy season, who does more to help the 49ers win a Super Bowl this year? Whose talents are the most vital to the annual quest for a Lombardi Trophy, and which one can San Francisco least afford to lose?
These players, of course, play entirely different positions and occupy different roles on the team.
49ers Mailbag: What happens if Sam Darnold beats out Trey Lance? Which rookie will play the most in 2023? Which question stumped us?
What happens if Sam Darnold beats out Trey Lance? We're answering this question and others in this week's edition of the 49ers Webzone Mailbag.
It's week two of OTAs, and the 49ers will have a session open to the media on Wednesday. It may even be happening as you're reading this. And Brock Purdy is believed to start throwing a ball this week (though probably not a regular football).
But for now, ignore those reports, and let's jump into our latest mailbag and answer your questions.
