The NFL has penalized the San Francisco 49ers for payroll accounting errors that occurred at the end of the 2022 league year. This has led to the team forfeiting their fifth-round draft pick in 2025 and a reduction in their fourth-round pick in the upcoming draft.
San Francisco's fourth-round selection, initially No. 131 overall, now shifts down four spots to the end of the round at No. 135, following the compensatory picks from that round.
Despite this setback, the 49ers still possess 10 selections in the 2024 NFL Draft but will be short a pick next year. The team's selections in the upcoming draft are as follows:
- Round 1, Pick 31 Overall
- Round 2, Pick 63 Overall
- Round 3, Pick 94 Overall
- Round 4, Pick 124 Overall (via Cowboys)
- Round 4, Pick 132 Overall (Compensatory)
- Round 4, Pick 135 Overall
- Round 5, Pick 176 Overall (Compensatory)
- Round 6, Pick 211 Overall (Compensatory)
- Round 6, Pick 215 Overall (Compensatory)
- Round 7, Pick 251 Overall
