49ers' 2024 NFL Draft picks impacted by Chase Young trade

The San Francisco 49ers are projected to have 11 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, despite trading for defensive end Chase Young. The team gave up their third-round compensatory pick to the Washington Commanders in the trade. However, they have taken advantage of the NFL's compensatory formula and could benefit from Young's addition. The 49ers will have Young for the remainder of the season before he becomes an unrestricted free agent in March. If Young signs elsewhere, the 49ers could gain a compensatory pick in 2025. Additionally, the 49ers are expected to receive multiple compensatory picks for net free-agent losses in the offseason.
