KC really didn't need to give more than 1 2nd. But they up'd the offer with a 3rd that could jump to another 2nd.
Realistically the market was only a few teams.
The gamble would be if some moves happened at the draft and a fit about as good as KC opened up.
The real fleecing SF did was what they gave up to get Boldin. Some drops this year but the dozens of great plays he's made the past 2 years WAY outweighs that.
