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.
Key 49ers losses contributing to compensatory picks:
- OL Aaron Banks
- QB Joshua Dobbs
- LB Dre Greenlaw
- S Talanoa Hufanga
- OL Jaylon Moore
- CB Charvarius Ward
Key 49ers additions factoring into compensatory picks:
- TE Luke Farrell
- QB Mac Jones
- WR Demarcus Robinson
A total of 33 compensatory draft selections in the 2026 NFL Draft were awarded to 15 teams.
