The NFL has announced the distribution of compensatory picks for the 2026 NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have been awarded three additional selections.
Compensatory picks awarded to the 49ers:
- Round 4, Pick 133 overall
- Round 4, Pick 138
- Round 4, Pick 139
Compensatory picks are granted to teams between the third and seventh rounds to offset the net loss of players in free agency from the previous year and to reward the development of minority candidates hired by other teams into head coaching or general manager positions.
The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) limits the total number of compensatory selections to 32, meaning only some teams meeting the criteria will receive compensation.
