Yep - of COURSE Dee Ford is worth next year's 2nd round pick. Nobody can reasonably question that. It's the contract that makes this a harder question (and the very reason why the 49ers could get him for a 2nd in the first place).
Next year's second round pick, even if he plays well, might not make $17.5m in his first four years combined, and if he flames out the damage to the team is far less than if Dee Ford flames out at that contract.
