The San Francisco 49ers have been masters at accumulating draft picks in recent years, doing so again in 2024.
The 49ers have been awarded the maximum five compensatory 2024 draft picks by the NFL Friday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was first to reveal the 2024 list, with SF getting selections in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth rounds of this year’s draft. In total, the 49ers have 11 draft picks this year, same as 2023.
However, the third-round pick (No. 99) will reportedly be going to Washington as a part of the Chase Young deal last season. All in all, SF has 10 picks currently.
