San Francisco 49ers Trade Deadline
Before the trade deadline concluded, the San Francisco 49ers made a big splash for Chase Young.

Chase Young Trade Grade: San Francisco 49ers - A
The rich get richer. The San Francisco 49ers add a former first-round defensive end to their beefed-up D-line.
Young will play on the opposing side of Nick Bosa, and with teams focusing on Bosa, it may create more opportunities for Young to showcase his skills. The 49ers only had to give up a third-round pick for a first-rounder.
Chase Young Trade Grade: Washington Commanders - B minus
While the Washington Commanders received a third-round pick in return for Young, they are the 'loser' in this trade as they only got a third-round pick in return for his services. They took Young second overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, and he hasn't lived up to his hype.
They got back decent value with a third-round pick on top of receiving a second-round pick from the Chicago Bears earlier today for Montez Sweat.
