Quick Glance: NFL Draft 2024: Explaining Compensatory Picks
- This year, a total of 257 selections will be available at the 2024 NFL draft, with 34 of them being compensatory picks. These are granted to teams that have experienced a net loss of players in free agency. Additionally, special compensatory picks are allocated to teams with minority assistants or personnel executives promoted to head coaching or general manager positions in other franchises.
- Compensatory picks are designated when a team's net loss of players in free agency surpasses its acquisitions. These additional selections are allotted within Rounds 3 through 7 and are determined based on a point system that evaluates player performance and caliber.
- The formulation of the compensatory draft pick system was pioneered by the NFL's management council. Amendments made in the 2020 CBA allow for teams to receive compensatory picks if a minority assistant or personnel executive transitions to the role of head coach or primary football executive in another team.
- Among the standout compensatory draft picks in NFL history are iconic figures like Tom Brady, Brian Dawkins, and Larry Allen. These individuals have significantly influenced the NFL landscape with their achievements, underscoring the potential of compensatory picks in unearthing exceptional talent.

- The Jaguars are signing former 49ers defensive player Arik Armstead, as per sources. Armstead was released by the 49ers this week after recording five sacks in 12 games last season.

Quick Glance: 49ers Ownership Transition: Jed York to Lead Franchise
- Jed York is on the verge of succeeding his mother as the 49ers’ primary owner, a title change that isn’t surprising after his past 13 years as CEO and face of the ownership group.
- Jed York, 43, has spent nearly 20 years working amid the 49ers’ hierarchy, taking on the CEO role in 2010. Three Super Bowl trips have followed, including last season’s under coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch, who both had their contracts extended prior to the season.
- While Denise DeBartolo York preferred a low-key profile during her tenure, Dr. John York has been a regular presence at games and occasionally at training sessions over the last two decades. However, it has been Jed York who has represented the ownership for almost a decade.
- Following a controversial ownership transfer due to Eddie DeBartolo's legal issues, Denise DeBartolo York became one of the NFL’s pioneering female owners. Among others currently acknowledged as primary or co-owners in the NFL are: Kim Pegula (Buffalo Bills), Virginia Halas McCaskey (Chicago Bears), Dee Haslam (Cleveland Browns), Sheila Ford Hamp (Detroit Lions), Janice McNair (Houston Texans), Carol Davis (Raiders), Gayle Benson (New Orleans Saints), Jody Allen (Seattle Seahawks), and Amy Adams Strunk (Tennessee Titans). According to ESPN, the Houston Texans are also anticipated to seek a transition of primary ownership from Janice McNair to her son Cal.

Quick Glance: San Francisco Acquiring Maliek Collins from Texans: Reasons Behind the Move and Defensive Lineup Placement
- The 49ers are adjusting their interior defense by acquiring defensive tackle Maliek Collins from the Texans, as confirmed by sources. In return for Collins, the Texans will receive a 2024 seventh-round pick. This particular selection is Pick No. 232, which arrived at the 49ers from the Vikings last season.
- With Armstead likely departing, the 49ers needed to add a starter at defensive tackle. They found this solution in Collins, who has been a consistent starter for the Texans over the past three seasons, accumulating 11 sacks during this period.
- With Collins now part of the team, the anticipated starting defensive lineup for the 49ers will consist of Bosa and Floyd at defensive end, along with Collins and Jones at defensive tackle. This lineup is expected to bring a stronger pass-rushing presence compared to the 2023 setup, primarily due to Floyd's inclusion.
- Assuming a seamless contract transition to San Francisco, the 49ers will absorb Collins' $8 million base salary, with $6 million of it fully guaranteed. Additionally, he has the potential to earn up to $500,000 in bonus money per game.
