Maybe the new precedent is being set by the innovative guys in the league.
That top pick doesnt require you to give out a 70 million dollar contract with 50 guaranteed anymore. Not much downfall to letting a kid sit with the new structure.
Meanwhile, we go and get a guy that can hit the ground running and help get the team headed back to respectability.
Basically, the same thing that happened that lead to the 49ers ascension.
