Not really a wash because it's a year later. You're giving a 2024 3rd round compensatory pick and getting a 2025 3rd round compensatory pick.

The 49ers also don't care about 3rd round picks as much because they're gaming the system hard with the rule changes. They've been getting their minority coaches and FO personnel hired by other teams, and a couple years back the NFL made a rule that gives comp picks if you have a minority offensive or FO guy get hired by another team at a higher level.

The 49ers already had 3 3rd round picks guaranteed in 2024, so giving away 1 comp pick of those 3 wasn't much. Same way that they traded a 3rd round pick among other picks last year for McCaffrey but still had 3 3rd round picks in the 2023 draft.

So basically if we want to act like the 49ers, we need a lot of minority offensive coaches and FO guys and hope other teams hire them to be HCs, OCs, and GMs. Then we can throw around 3rd round comp picks like they grow on trees.
