The 49ers' third-round compensation pick is part of the NFL's new policy designed to encourage hiring minority candidates for coaching and executive positions. In each of the next three NFL Drafts, the 49ers will get a third-round pick after defensive coordinator Robert Saleh was hired by the New York Jets to be their next head coach, and vice president of player personnel Martin Mayhew took over as the Washington Football Team's general manager.
John Lynch and the 49ers' front office has been active so far in free agency, at least when it comes to retaining its top talent from last season. Kyle Juszczyk, Trent Williams and Jason Verrett all came to agreements to return to the franchise for 2021.

It also appears that the Nick Mullens era is over for the 49ers, and the team brought in veteran Joe Flacco for a visit earlier this week. Although there is a lot of smoke around the number of potential first-round options, the 49ers more likely will grab a signal-caller on Day 2 or 3 who they believe can develop into a serviceable backup and provide some long-term security.
