The 49ers’ pockets are a bit lighter for draft picks this year. It’s rather odd since a few years back, Trent Baalke would have 11 of these things to toss around on draft day. The 49ers had five official picks and now have been granted a sixth compensatory pick with the Aaron Lynch departure. So six picks total.
Now suddenly, the 49ers need more picks when they had more than enough before. This final pick makes for a good bankroll on draft day if John Lynch and company decide to wheel and deal.
