49ers unlikely to have comp picks in 2020

The San Francisco 49ers open free agency next week with a limited number of notable players hitting the open market. The 49ers have a sixth round comp pick this year, but the comp pick formula is likely going to result in no picks for 2020.

The comp pick formula provides that a team that loses more players than it signs can be eligible to receive one or more additional picks in the following year’s draft. This year, the team had an even number of one more qualifying loss than gain, and Aaron Lynch’s departure resulted in a sixth round pick.
