NFL Draft order: 49ers have 11 picks

SANTA CLARA — The 49ers now own 11 picks in next month’s NFL Draft, an abundance of assets should they choose to trade up on draft weekend.

Friday brought five compensatory picks the 49ers’ way. The highest of that group – third round, No. 99 overall – is already ticketed for Washington via October’s trade acquisition of defensive end Chase Young. That pick originally came via the NFL’s minority hiring incentive, a reward for the departures of Ran Carthon (Tennessee Titans general manager) and DeMeco Ryans (Houston Texans coach).

The 49ers own a first-round pick for the first time since 2021, when they selected Trey Lance at No. 3 overall for what essentially was a two-year tryout; Lance got dealt to Dallas last August for a fourth-round pick in next month’s draft, which will be held in Detroit.

The compensatory picks also assured the 49ers of a spot in at least each round. General manager John Lynch has swung at least one trade in every of the past seven drafts except in 2022.

Here are the 11 spots currently assigned to the 49ers (complete NFL Draft order follows):

First round: No. 31 overall

Second round: No. 63

Third round: No. 94

Fourth round: No. 123 (via Dallas, in trade of Trey Lance), No. 130, No. 132 (compensatory pick)

Fifth round: No. 175 (compensatory)

Sixth round: No. 211 (compensatory), No. 215 (compensatory)

Seventh round: No. 232 (via Denver in trade for Randy Gregory), No. 251

Both the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles joined the 49ers in receiving four compensatory picks, the most in the NFL, for player movement in 2023 free agency.
