The 49ers will have a little added picking power in the 2016 NFL Draft.

In trades this week, San Francisco snagged a pair of extra selections in next year’s draft, getting a fifth-round pick from San Diego when trading down on Thursday and a sixth-round pick from Dallas for a 2015 seventh-round pick on Saturday.

The Eagles came away with the highest future pick, snagging a 2016 third-rounder from Detroit for a 2015 fourth-round pick. However, the Lions are likely to get a 2016 third-rounder as a compensatory pick after losing defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh in free agency.

Here is the full list of future selections acquired during the 2015 NFL Draft:

Philadelphia: 2016 third-round selection (from Detroit).

San Francisco: 2016 fifth-round selection (from San Diego), 2016 sixth-round selection (from Dallas).

Detroit: 2016 fifth-round selection (from Denver).

Washington: 2016 sixth-round selection (from New Orleans).

  3. Trent Baalke is a genius at getting extra picks. Unfortunately once he has them he does things like choosing a punter in the 5th round when the 49ers already have an all-pro punter.

    Beat me to the punch.
    He also shows a troubling habit of ignoring the talent-rich positions in the draft, namely WR in this years as well as last years draft. As a niner fan, it is painful to watch his inaction.

  6. I’m sure the redskins pick will become a trade piece for an aging vet with a bad contract or an underachiever with a big contract. Scot loves those kind of trades. ex: goldson trade. thats what he did at SF and Seattle.

  8. Curious to see whether the 49er faithful just up and abandon football altogether like last season, or if they jump ship to the Raiders and act as if they’ve been apart of the nation all along. Should be fun to watch

    I will say this, I have been a Niner fan since the mid 80’s… But i will say this, after suffering in the abyss for all those years before Harbs, after watching the management screw it up with him this year, then hiring our D-line coach, my faithful card it close to the fire. I will not stand by and watch Jed and co destroy the legacy that is the Niner Nation. Since my vote does not count in the front office, I will vote with my feet and pocket book. they better get right, or I am out.

    Sure, keep watching

  12. icallbs81, Boldin is 36 and will be gone after this year. Torrey Smith is a #2 WR. He’s a one-trick pony. Very good at his one trick, but one-dimensional. Ellington and Patton are not future #1s. In a draft this deep, getting someone who could turn into that was a possibility. Jaelon Strong and Tyler Lockett were there, and Lockett would have filled a KR need, also.

  13. add that to the fact that 49ers will be picking 1st overall next year based on Tomsula’s coaching ability.

  14. That’s great news but I hope that Baalke is not drafting next year. I feel that Roman really needed to go and not Harbaugh, but that we’d find out a lot about Baalke after Harbaugh was gone. On paper, Baalke has hired a head coach who will likely fail, got really nobody that anyone wanted as the OC, and now a dud of a draft in addition to running out the best coach the franchise has had in the last decade plus.

    This draft was going to really see who was really screwing up the first round and a lot of other draft blunders between Harbaugh and Baalke. In the Baalke regime we’ve only had two first round picks who have worked out in Aldon and Reid, and Aldon is actually a toss-up despite being an elite player at his position.

    The Baalke era has chosen AJ Jenkins (who most had as a third round) in the first round, and also over Alshon Jeffery to make it worse. Last year it was a safety in round one we could have got in round two, and chosing Ellington at WR when anyone watching college football could see both Moncrief and Bryant were better players and still available, and didn’t address corner until the later rounds.

    One year later w/o Harbaugh, (and I am a huge Oregon Ducks fan too) we get a DL who has under-achieved his whole career and most schools only offered him a scholarship to play LT, we take a D3 safety in round two when we do not have a need for one. Eli Harold was legit, and a raw Blake Bell may eventually play dividends. Corner wasn’t addressed at all and neither was ILB, we now have like seven TE’s on the roster, lots of great WR talent was ignored, and for some reason a Punter was taken in round five to run out one of the best punters in the NFL.

    I’m glad we signed Dres Anderson as an udrafted RFA but Baalke has got to go. On paper, this draft is a dud right now. I hope that I’m wrong.

    I’m going on thirty one and have been a fan since I was five years old. I’ve sat through every game the past nine years straight without missing one, and endured mostly nothing but bad. I do not support York or Baalke at all right now. But, I absolutely support the logo and uniform and years of moments as a 49ers fan.

    You need to show more pride and dignity. You don’t just abandon your team because they’re gonna suck. That’s the only thing I hated about the Harbaugh era is that all the 49ers fans were back and prideful after we were great again. It’s pathetic, real fans still support their team regardless and still have hope for the future. Look at the Browns fans who seem to never get any good luck, the years and years that the Bengals and Cardinals were awful and now both franchises are successful with the same bad owners that hurt their teams for years. The York’s have really set back the 49ers organization but we did just have three out of four great seasons, and hopefully we can find the right regime under York to make things right again some day in the near future.

    If you want to turn in your fan card then go right ahead. I’m sure you’ll be back when they’re good again like so many others that give the loyal 49ers fans a bad name.

  17. Baalke had an incredible 2014 draft and even better 2015 draft. Now he has already 9 for next year?? Wow! The rich get richer. Best roster in the NFL, put together by the best GM in the NFL.

  18. Wouldn’t having Haloti Ngata on the roster negate the Lions from receiving a comp pick?

  19. Boldin has back to back 1,000 yards receiving and he moves the chains on 3rd down. He’s a possession receiver not a burner…he fights for the ball and Kap safety net. Yeah he’s old but he’s a man amongst boys with a hard work ethic and it shows on the field. Let Patton and Ellington get their chance to play and we will see how it pans out.

  20. Not a big fan of Baalke but not a hater either. I guess if he just wanted to please the fans then he should just read and react to the mock drafts. I like his draft approach of looking a year down the road. The 5th rd pick of a punter was surprising but he may want to replace Andy Lee to save money. Smelter could be a #1 WR next year when Boldin is gone. He has plenty of talen and size speed. We didn’t draft a CB this year because we drafted 4 of them last year. The Oline will be addressed with last years picks.

  21. Three #4’s; 5’s and three 6th round picks in 2016, a total of 12 picks. If they do their homework they should be the deepest team in the league by 2017..

    ———————————————–

    Ngata was acquired in a trade so he doesn’t effect the compensation pick process one bit. Compensation picks get doled out according to players lost to players acquired(in free agency) with contract value playing key role. So because the Lions didn’t sign anybody but lost Suh, Fairley, CJ Mosley and others they are sure to get picks back especially because of how much Suh and Fairley signed for.
