San Francisco is projected to land four comp picks, and their seventh-round choice via the Panthers came in a trade last year that landed kicker Zane Gonzalez with the 49ers. It’s unclear what the conditions of the pick swap were, so there’s a chance San Francisco actually holds onto its own pick, which is slated for No. 229.

There are obvious needs for the San Francisco 49ers on the defensive line that will need to be addressed via free agency and the NFL draft this offseason. However, that’s not the only way they can see an improvement from that group.
