"owners have complained to the league office about the sheer number of compensatory picks the 49ers have received for serving as a pipeline for coaches and executives of color. "
WTAF!
Maybe if other teams as @Aroogah mentions nurtured more talent off the field, in their coaching ranks and the executive suites, they would get as many compensatory picks.
Despite how much I've grown to dislike this team (have special special memories of loving Jerry Rice and Montana and Young growing up to offset that) shanahan does a good job of having a diverse coaching staff, see here..

and judging by some of the surnames in their front office staff, they're doing a decent job back there as well..

I like Seth Wickersham's work, but Shanahan comes out looking like a bit of a dick in this piece, despite the overcoming adversity throughline.
