NFL announces 34 compensatory picks, with 49ers the big winners
The NFL has announced 34 compensatory picks added to the 2024 NFL draft, and the 49ers are the team that did the best.
San Francisco got a third-round pick, a fourth-round pick, a fifth-round pick and two sixth-round picks this year, adding the most draft capital of any team in the league.
The 49ers were one of two teams, along with the Rams, that benefited from the NFL rule awarding a third-round compensatory picks to teams that develop a minority candidate who gets hired away as a head coach or G.M. on another team.
The other 32 compensatory picks were awarded by the league's longstanding formula that sends extra draft picks to teams that lost more free agents than they signed, with the free agents who signed the biggest contracts yielding the highest compensatory picks. This year the top compensatory pick, No. 96 overall, goes to the Jaguars after they lost tackle Jawaan Taylor to a four-year, $80 million deal with the Chiefs last year.
