The Niners had the maximum amount of compensatory picks in the 2023 NFL Draft with seven. Three of those — all third-round selections — were awarded because of the NFL's minority hiring incentive. It's a process that began in 2020 in which the NFL awards teams picks for losing minority coaches, or top executives, to another team.
Lol wtf is this system. Rewarding teams because they hire minorities wtf?
Yeah, NFL owners are legit r-slurs that just react to things and pass PR puff “league rules” like this and the Rooney rule (you have to interview at least one minority when looking for a head coach) and then don't do it anyway. Then when someone takes advantage of the systems they set in place, by the owners, they get mad because it's assumed no one would actually take advantage of them outside of the Steelers.

They also have a rule that every coaching opening needs to have a black interviewee even if the team knows who they want to hire

Pawning off black coaches that can't hack it to other teams and then reaping third rounds picks for it. Truly is our team, chuds.
