I like my solution better but that is an interesting idea. They did say the like having more picks. That would give them a lot more picks.

the move for them is to trade their 1,2,3 licks for a teams 4-7 picks for like 5 years. 

49er 1 for team xyz 4-7 round picks for next 5 years

49er 2 for 4-7 for next 2 years 

49er 3 for 4-7

It might work for the 49ers since they draft so poorly early that the cost savings doesn't matter because they have to bring in and pay a FA like Mike Evans anyways.

Maybe they should just package their 1 and 2 picks and try to target top talent entering year 3 or 4 that teams aren't likely to extend. Then you get young and cost controllable for a couple years.

Do the 49ers suck at drafting?
