We all knew it was comign and now it is official.

The news came in the form of a tweet from the 49ers:

Unfortunately the 49ers do not go into details of what the two draft picks are. It is believed to be KC’s second-round pick this year (#34 overall) and a conditional third-roud pick in 2014. That pick is believed to be a third that can become a second based on the conditions.
We will keep an eye out for the final details of the trade. Now that the deal is faxed into the league office, hopefully someone will leak the specifics.
