SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers will have 10 picks in the upcoming draft, including an extra fourth-round pick that was awarded Friday.
That compensatory pick, the 37th overall selection in the fourth round, was awarded as compensation for losing guard Alex Boone, who signed a four-year, $26.8 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings.
Compensatory picks are awarded if a team loses more -- or more valuable -- fre agents than they sign. The only two NFL free agents signed by San Francisco last year were guard Zane Beadles and quarterback Thad Lewis.
