What would you like first: The bad news, or the worse news?
Let's go in that order.
The NFL announced Tuesday the distribution of 32 compensatory draft choices for the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft. The bad news? The 49ers didn't receive any.
Teams that lose more or better compensatory free agents (CFA) than they acquire in the previous year are eligible to receive compensatory draft picks. The compensatory picks fall within the third and seventh rounds in the draft, based on the value of the CFAs lost. The total number of compensatory selections is limited to the number of teams in the league (32), and no team can receive more than four compensatory picks in any one year.
