The San Francisco 49ers were awarded a fourth round compensatory pick on Friday, which brings their total picks to 11. The team holds their own seven picks and the comp pick. They also have Washington’s fifth round pick from the Derek Carrier trade, the Denver Broncos sixth round pick from the Vernon Davis trade, and the Cleveland Browns seventh round pick from the Andy Lee trade.
Teams can trade compensatory picks for the first time, which might make for a little more trading than normal. In the past, it seems like comp picks have often been used for project players, or players dealing with medical issues.
