There wasn’t any great value for the 49ers getting an oft-injured Ford and having to give him a huge contract. Are you high?

They shared similar profiles. Clark was obviously more explosive but the discrepancy wasn't to the point of dishing out a first and a second.
I am not saying Seattle fleeced us but surely Veach had more leverage than he realized at the time. You can draft your own DE with that compensation by moving up in the first.
