We have a trade! The 49ers are acquiring Chase Young from the Washington Commanders in exchange for a 2024 third-round pick. In an ideal world for San Francisco, it’s a comp pick that is at the end of the third round.
We’ll see if this ends up being the only trade, but another way to help your secondary is by applying consistent pressure. Per Sports Info Solutions, Young has five sacks and has hit the quarterback 14 times this season to go with nine tackles for loss. That’s the production the 49ers are looking for opposite of Nick Bosa.
