Around the NFL - Week 18

Following up on the trades of our starting defensive ends:

Montez Sweat is the first player in NFL history to lead 2 teams in sacks in the same year - but we got a 2nd rounder so I'd say it breaks even (if he was gonna be too expensive to resign we basically got a 2nd rounder instead of a 3rd).

Chase Young had 5 sacks in 8 games with us and 2.5 sacks with the 49ers as a reserve end in 9 games. Getting a 3rd rounder for him is great value for us. Definitely won that trade unless he blows up next year.

It was the right thing to do - trade them.

Couldn't turn down the deal for Sweat, and Chase was good as gone anyway. At least they got pretty good value for him as well.

The Sweat deal can’t be evaluated until we use that pick.

I don't know about that. The value of the pick we got is what it is. If the actual player doesn't pan out, it was still a good deal.
