49ers Own 10 Picks in 2017 NFL Draft By Joe Fann, 49ers.com
The order is now official for the 2017 NFL Draft. The league released the list of compensatory picks last week, awarded to clubs who lost more in free agency than they gained a year ago. In all, 32 compensatory picks were handed out from Rounds 3-7.
The San Francisco 49ers were given a fourth-round selection for losing free agent guard Alex Boone to the Minnesota Vikings last offseason. San Francisco owns 10 picks in all.
Here's the complete list, including how each pick was acquired (if applicable).
Round Pick in Round Overall Pick No. Notes 1 2 2 2 2 34 3 2 66 4 2 109 4 37 143 Compensatory 5 2 146 5 17 161 Acquired from Washington Redskins in 2015 6 2 186 6 18 202 Acquired from Denver Broncos in 2015 7 1 219 Acquired from Cleveland Browns in 2015
