The 49ers’ list of 2022 draft picks got an update when the Miami Dolphins hired former 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to be their new head coach. McDaniel, who is multiracial, landed the 49ers two compensatory third-round picks under Resolution JC-2A that awards teams compensatory third-round selections for developing minority head coaches and general managers.
San Francisco landed a 2021 third-round compensatory pick when their former vice president of player personnel Martin Mayhew was hired as Washington’s general manager. They also got third-round picks in 2022 and 2023 for former defensive coordinator Robert Saleh getting hired as the Jets head coach. The comp. picks for McDaniel will also convey in 2022 and 2023.
Here’s an updated list of the 49ers’ 2022 NFL draft picks:
Round 1, Pick 29 (traded to Miami)
Round 2, Pick 61
Round 3, Pick 93
Round 3, Compensatory A (traded to Miami)
Round 3, Compensatory B
Round 4, Pick 132
Round 5, Pick 171
Round 6, Pick 185 (via Denver)
Round 6, Pick 206 (traded to New York Jets)
Round 7, Pick 248 (traded to Denver)
Their Round 1 pick and the first of their two Round 3 compensatory picks were dealt to Miami in the trade up to No. 3 overall in last year’s draft.
Their own sixth-round selection will actually go to Houston, but it was initially traded by San Francisco to the Jets in the trade to acquire defensive end Jordan Willis during the 2020 season.
The 49ers gained an additional sixth-round pick from the Broncos in the trade that sent linebacker Jonas Griffith to Denver. San Francisco shipped out their seventh-round pick in that deal as well.
An interesting addition will come when Jimmy Garoppolo is eventually traded. That may put another Day 2 pick in their war chest, giving them some maneuverability if they want to try and get up into the first round.
2- HOW BIG OF A DEAL IS THAT???
(Albert BREER MMQB)
Mike McDaniel’s hire in Miami should get your attention. The fact that he’s biracial is, of course, important given the way this hiring cycle has gone. As is the fact that McDaniel is widely seen among those in the Shanahan coaching tree as the other side of Kyle’s brain. In fact, the 38-year-old Yale graduate may well be the smartest branch off that tree—and it’s reflected in how close Shanahan kept McDaniel over the years. Shanahan’s always surrounded himself with smart young coaches, but McDaniel was the only one he took to work under him at all five of his NFL stops as a coordinator or head coach (Texans, Washington, Browns, Falcons, 49ers). And in each of those places, Shanahan had no issue delegating to McDaniel, which is a good a sign of his trust in a guy he first got to know as a ball boy for his dad’s Broncos teams. In San Francisco over the last few years, Shanahan would spend Mondays and Tuesdays almost exclusively on the passing game, going to work with top lieutenants like former pass-game coordinator Mike LaFleur, while McDaniel was left to draw up the team’s run game for the week. By the time Wednesday rolled around, what McDaniel would draw up could be so inventive that it’d take a couple of days for the other guys on the staff to wrap their heads around what he was thinking. But Shanahan had so much trust in McDaniel that he gave him great latitude to roll with those sorts of ideas—and they paid off with one of the NFL’s best run games. The question now with McDaniel will be how he’ll be in front of the room when things go wrong. And it’s a fair question to ask. But based on what I know about how McDaniel’s grown in that regard, and how comfortable he is in his own skin, I think he’ll be alright. And I will say that I’m pretty certain that, going forward, his Dolphins are going to be a difficult team to coach against.
C- GOOD NEW FOR JIMMY’S TRADE VALUE — THE SENIOR BOWL QBS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO LOOK - NOT GOOD-
(BREER)
The quarterbacks at the Senior Bowl showed as they were expected to. And that’s not great news. The group, compromised of all the top guys outside of Ole Miss’s Matt Corral, came in perceived to be an average lot. It left Mobile with a lot of NFL folks convinced of that. A couple of veteran NFL evaluators told me late in the week that they don’t believe there’s a single NFL starter in this year’s quarterback class. Not everyone was that harsh, but it was unanimous that these quarterbacks aren’t close to last year’s—and most agreed that all five of last year’s first-round signal-callers would’ve been the top guy at the position in the 2022 draft. Here’s a sampling of those takeaways.
• AFC exec: “You might have some people who’d take Malik [Willis] over Mac [Jones], just because of the physical stuff. But comparing them to Mac’s résumé, [Kenny] Pickett had nice stats, but he wasn’t Mac. So yes, I’d say all these guys are behind those five. … Pickett and [Desmond] Ridder look more ready to go. They’re playing a calmer brand of football. The ceiling’s not as high, but they’re more confident, they’ve played a lot, they’ve been on good teams, they’re pretty consistent players. Willis is a wild card. He could be something, but also could be nothing. That one would scare me. … Even the way he played this week, he holds the ball, runs around a lot, and it’s gonna take him a long time to get adjusted.”
• AFC college scouting director: “What’s your threshold for a starter? It’s kind of a broad term. I don’t think there’s an above average starter in the group. Maybe there are a couple of average starters. … If there’s two guys you can make an argument helped themselves it’s Ridder and Willis. Ridder almost by default, just by being consistent. I’m not saying he had a great week, but he comes out ahead by just looking steady. And he was very steady. The highs weren’t that high, but there was no Whoa, what was that?Willis has an absolute cannon; he can rip it. He doesn’t read the defense, but his arm even more live than on tape.”
• AFC exec No. 2: “It was an average showing all the way around. No one really stood out as a top-level guy. Malik showed the most athleticism and arm strength. You just question how ready he is, coming from the offenses [at Auburn and Liberty] he is.”
So, in summary, it does feel like the quarterbacks left Mobile with more questions than they came in with. For all the jokes about Pickett’s hand size, his are smaller than just about any NFL starter, scouts did feel like it was an issue in how the Pitt product threw it at a rainy outdoor practice Wednesday. North Carolina’s Sam Howell physically looked like a mid-round pick to the evaluators on hand. And that Western Kentucky’s Bailey Zappe was even at America’s premier college all-star game and draft showcase, per one scout, “tells you everything you need to know about the quarterback class.”
Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offer:
2022 second-rounder for Garoppolo
"Assuming the Bucs can keep their core roster intact, one could argue that they're really only a quarterback away from staying in contention -- and this one wouldn't break the bank, allowing them to keep their key free agents," ESPN Bucs reporter Jenna Laine wrote. "Garoppolo is no Tom Brady, but he has Super Bowl experience, played with Brady in New England and could, at the very least, serve as a bridge to Kyle Trask."
The 49ers' decision: Tampa Bay
"Finding the right match was a bit more difficult than expected, considering Rodgers and Wilson ultimately weren't traded," ESPN 49ers reporter Nick Wagoner wrote. "The offseason's QB market demand far outweighs supply in that case, and while the Niners are happy to recoup the second-round pick they traded to New England for Garoppolo in 2017, I was hoping for an additional mid-to-late-round pick in 2023, too."
There you have it, according to this ESPN simulation, Garoppolo will replace Tom Brady as the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next season.

Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota State: Playing for the run-heavy Bison, this three-year starter registered 14 touchdown catches for his career, seven of which came this fall. So there was promise there, and Watson’s game most certainly translated over to the practice field in Mobile. At 6' 4" and 208 pounds, Watson played big, showing off his catch radius, and also proved he can run a little, too.

The #Packers are expected to hire former #Raidersinterim coach Rich Bisaccia as their new special teams coach, sources say. The unit was an issue in GB last year, and coach Matt LaFleur goes a long way toward fixing it. Bisaccia is universally respected. 2/7/22, 8:04 AM

9. San Francisco Giants
Last year: No. 9
The Giants have done an unbelievable job flipping this system on its head, moving away from lower-ceiling guys to better risk-reward calculations in both the draft and on the international side, led by their 2018 group that included Marco Luciano, Luis Matos and Jairo Pomares. The system improved enough that they could trade two top-20 prospects for Kris Bryant and not really miss a beat. We haven’t seen the changes they’ve executed at the major-league level trickle down to the minors yet, as they have a number of prospects who might benefit from swing alterations or the like to unlock more power or improve command.
15. Marco Luciano, SS, San Francisco Giants
Age: 20 | 6-2 | 178 pounds
Bats: Right | Throws: Right
Previous ranking: No. 31
The Giants signed Luciano for $2.6 million in 2018, in the Before Times, for his physical projection and explosive bat speed. He’s already started to show some of that on the field, hitting 18 homers in 70 games in Low A last year, with a .278/.373/.556 overall line at the level — outstanding for a 19-year-old who was among the youngest players in his league. The Giants bumped him up to High A in August, and he struggled, punching out more than a third of the time without any power to show for it — a sign of his inexperience and difficulty laying off pitches he can’t drive. He has extremely quick hands and swings hard most of the time, and the ball flies off his bat with power from his pull side all the way over to right-center. Luciano is not a shortstop; yes, he played shortstop exclusively last year, but at 19 he is already a big kid, and he’s going to get bigger. The question around his position is not whether he can stay at short, but whether he can stay on the dirt. He has very sure hands and he’s athletic enough to do it, but he’s going to be the size of a strong safety before he’s 24, and he might end up in right field. His bat will still profile there, but he’ll lose some value with each move down the defensive spectrum. There’s huge upside here — maybe a third baseman who hits 35 homers a year with some walks — but also some risk in the hit tool and size, which could push him to an outfield corner when he reaches his peak.

OF LUIS MATOS UNRANKED TO 55
OF HELIOT RAOS 70 FROM 58
BART 79 FROM 41
79. Joey Bart, C, San Francisco Giants
Age: 25 | 6-2 | 238 pounds
Bats: Right | Throws: Right
Drafted: No. 2 in 2018
Previous ranking: 41
Bart had a disappointing year in Triple A, missing time with a quad strain, playing lethargic defense, and striking out nearly 30 percent of the time. The No. 2 overall pick in 2018, Bart is capable of playing plus defense with a plus arm, and may have been going through the motions in Triple A after spending part of 2020 in the big leagues. He has pull power and some pitch recognition, with swing and miss issues that make him more likely to be a .230/.300/.450 guy than a high-average hitter. Assuming his defensive issues were a temporary matter of being at a level where he didn’t want to be, with the majors beckoning this year, he still projects to be an everyday catcher for a long time, perhaps without the star potential the Giants wanted when they drafted him.
