That's the thing--they can stash Carradine and Lattimore on IR or at least PUP, keep their rights, and allow them to get better with no pressure.
San Francisco was given the opportunity to build a DYNASTY with this draft. The problem was finding roster spots for their picks. By taking guys who can be stashed on PUP or IR, they're going to effectively double-up on their 2014 draft class.
Meanwhile, they've built up a nice group of players on extensions for very little money. The contract for Joe Staley is absolutely criminal.
