To “tank or not to tank.” That is the inevitable question for the 1-11 San Francisco 49ers.
If you’re a fan, chances are you think it’s best for the Niners to cough up losses in each one of their remaining four games this season. Why? Well, it’s simple. It would guarantee the franchise a top-two pick in the upcoming 2017 NFL Draft.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it — lose out to get a better draft pick. And with so many needs across the board, the 49ers can either draft high or trade back and accrue additional much-needed picks.
