I think it’s been so long that this happened, I forgot the reason. Did they trade to move up in the draft a couple years ago? Trade for a player? Anybody remember?

9ers wanted the pats pick last year so they offered them their pick this year for their pick last year which turned out to be joe staley.
im a 9ers fan and hindsight is 20/20 but im happy with the trade. joe staley was our best olineman by far. if you think about it, arizona took levi brown with the 5th pick. staley turned out to be as good or better than brown, so the trade isnt incredibly horrendous like most people think. i mean nobody thought the 9ers would **** this much, thats why they made the trade. things just didnt work out for us.
they had 2 picks in the 1st round of the 07 draft and traded one to the Niners for their #1 in 2008.
The 49ers traded their 2008 first round pick for the Patriots 2007 first round pick. They used it to get Joe Staley (the offensive lineman).
extortion and blackmail.
they swapped picks at last years draft
They cheated somehow, just like they cheated the Raiders out of the Superbowl in 2002. I’m not bitter or anything. No, actually I think they just traded the 49ers 07 pick for their 08 pick.
The Patriots acquired the pick a trade made during the 2007 draft. New England traded a first-round pick (28th overall) to the 49ers for a 2008 first-round pick and a 2007 fourth-round pick. The 49ers used the selection on OT Joe Staley.
pats and 49ers traded year picks. pats assumed that the 49ers would still have #1 pick in 08, so they gave them their 07 pick.
The Patriots traded their additional first round pick to the 49ers, who had previously selected Rookie of the Year MLB Patrick Willis in the first round and drafted offensive tackle Joe Staley of Central Michigan
