SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Before the NFL made their annual announcement of compensatory picks for the 2023 NFL draft, the San Francisco 49ers were slated to have just four selections.
After the league unveiled those 37 additional choices Thursday afternoon, the Niners now have a whopping 11. San Francisco's seven compensatory selections include three extra third-round picks (Nos.
99, 101 and 102) as part of the league's initiative for organizations developing minority candidates who become head coaches or general managers with other teams.
Those picks came following the departures of head coaches Robert Saleh (New York Jets), Mike McDaniel (Miami Dolphins) and DeMeco Ryans (Houston Texans), as well as general managers Martin Mayhew (Washington Commanders) and Ran Carthon (Tennessee Titans) in recent years.
