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.

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

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.

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.
