2020 Resolution JC-2A picks

Since the 2021 draft, the league, under 2020 Resolution JC-2A passed in November 2020, rewards teams for developing minority candidates for head coach and/or general manager positions.^[4] The resolution rewards teams whose minority candidates are hired away for one of those positions by awarding draft picks. These draft picks are at the end of the third round, after standard compensatory picks; if multiple teams qualify, they are awarded by draft order in the first round. These picks are in addition to, and have no impact on, the standard 32 compensatory picks.^[5] One pick was awarded for the 2025 draft pursuant to the resolution.

• San Francisco received a third-round selection after Houston hired former 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans as head coach.^[6]
