The San Francisco 49ers are poised to enhance their roster with compensatory picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. NFL Media's projection suggests that the 49ers will receive three additional picks, including two in Round 4 and one in Round 5. These selections stem from the loss of left guard Aaron Banks to the Green Bay Packers, cornerback Charvarius Ward to the Indianapolis Colts, and safety Talanoa Hufanga to the Denver Broncos.

The 49ers' approach in free agency reflects a strategic move to balance their roster and maximize draft capital, indicating a strong focus on both immediate and long-term team building. As they navigate the upcoming draft, these compensatory picks could offer opportunities to add depth and talent, particularly as they have also made some notable additions, including wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and tight end Luke Farrell. Fans eagerly await the official announcement of these picks next March.
