Teams picking #1-16 can negotiate contracts up to 6 years in length. While few get there, it is a sizable bargaining chip for those teams since players typically want to get to free agency as quickly as possible. That's an easy concession to make that can save a million bucks or so for the #16 pick. For #17? Not so much, as the maximum length of contract is 5 years. Teams will fight to hold onto that guy for the full five years or give a concession that makes a First Round pick available to the world in as few as 4 years.

Interesting. I had no idea about it affecting contract length. I didn't think it really mattered, but now it's pretty cool that the 49ers got screwed a little.

i think we should sign sproles, he has that break away speed to couple with forsett's power running and hes is a much needed improvement in the return game... forsett and sproles niceley complement eachother and rankin can provide in short yardage situations.. sounds good

Having two small RB's is not a compliment in any way. I'd be happy with Sproles, but I feel that it's kinda the same situation in SD that it is here with Burly.
With LT gone it shocks me that they didn't sign Sproles. Either they have their eye on someone in FA or they are loving someone in the draft. Maybe they could be a trade partner for our #14 if they really want Spiller. We could probably get another 2nd and 6th or 7th out of it. Wishful thinking though.
