I was watching Caught in the Draft, the 49er's screwed us back in '68. Two 1st round pick Rozzell what a dick.

quote:

In 1966, Parks made the Pro Bowl for the third year in a row after finishing top five in the NFL in catches (66) and receiving yards (974).

He’d never have it so good again. The former Red Raider suffered a crushing ribs injury early in 1967, missed five games and says he took painkilling shots all season to numb the pain.

At the end of the year, unable to come to terms on a new contract, Parks played out his option. He signed with the New Orleans Saints, and NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle then forced the Saints to give the 49ers two first-round picks as compensation.

Parks spent five years in New Orleans, during which time the lowly Saints never won more than five games and twice went 2-11-1.

one of the picks we had to give away was Kevin Hardy (so no big deal) our 1968 1st round draft pick and our 1969 first round pick(#7). LINK

I know it doesn't matter now but it just makes hate the 49er's more.

That deal changed the paths of both teams. Without it, we beat them in the playoffs a couple years ago. frickers.
