The NFL awarded compensatory picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers earned seven selections to add to their initial four, bringing their total to 11 picks.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the NFL presented San Francisco with the following compensatory picks.
- Round 3, No. 99 overall
- Round 3, No. 101
- Round 3, No. 102
- Round 5, No. 173
- Round 6, No. 216
- Round 7, No. 253
- Round 7, No. 255
49ers were awarded three third-round picks - No. 99, 101 and 102. 49ers also gained comp picks in rounds 5, 6, and two in 7, so seven extra picks added today. https://t.co/O1Che2OQcZ

The 49ers already had their own fifth- and seventh-round picks, and additional fifth- and seventh-round picks acquired via trades (Jeff Wilson, Jonas Griffith).
The three compensatory third-round picks come courtesy of the NFL's minority-hiring program for coaches or executives hired by other teams to serve as their head coach or general manager. They are for the departures of Robert Saleh, Martin Mayhew, Mike McDaniel, Ran Carthon, and DeMeco Ryans.
In 2022, San Francisco lost defensive linemen D.J. Jones and Arden Key, running back Raheem Mostert, offensive guard Laken Tomlinson, and cornerback K'Waun Williams in free agency. One of those players was offset by the addition of cornerback Charvarius Ward in the NFL's formula for compensatory picks, resulting in the four additional picks for players lost.
Below is a list of the 49ers' 11 draft picks.
- Round 3, Pick 99 (Compensatory)
- Round 3, Pick 101 (Compensatory)
- Round 3, Pick 102 (Compensatory)
- Round 5, Pick 155 (via Dolphins)
