Not sure I understand the nature of this diversity rule. Why does the pick go to the team that LOSES the diversity candidate? Why not give it to the NEW team for giving these individuals a promotion?
Why not give the same compensation to teams promoting diversity hires from within. In other words, Pats would get a pick for making Mayo DC this year? I guess I'm just confused why 49ers (and others, of course) are being rewarded for these hires?
Really not arguing against having some reward system in place, just seems backwards to me.
