San Francisco moved up to No. 94 in the 2005 draft and selected offensive lineman Adam Snyder, sending Philadelphia picks No. 102 and No. 175. Snyder became a durable 49ers lineman and eventually logged 88 NFL starts. Philadelphia used No. 102 on safety Sean Considine and included No. 175 in a separate trade-up that produced pick No. 126, used on guard Todd Herremans.

Philadelphia Eagles Received

  • pick 2005 6th round pick (175th overall; subsequently included in trade-up for No. 126 Todd Herremans )

San Francisco 49ers Received

Trade Analysis

The Draft-Day Exchange

San Francisco wanted the 94th pick in the 2005 draft and paid Philadelphia the 102nd and 175th selections to move up eight spots. The 49ers used No. 94 on Oregon offensive lineman Adam Snyder. Philadelphia used No. 102 on safety Sean Considine and retained No. 175 as another movable draft asset.

What San Francisco Got

Snyder was a successful third-round outcome. He played across the offensive line, appeared in 141 NFL games and made 88 career starts. Much of that work came with San Francisco, including seasons in which he started 13, 16 and 13 games. For a team moving up only eight places in the middle rounds, landing a long-serving and versatile lineman represented substantial value.

Philadelphia's Two-Part Return

Considine became an immediate roster contributor. He appeared in 46 games for Philadelphia from 2005 through 2008 and made 17 starts during that span. The second acquired pick, No. 175, should not be credited to Philadelphia as the player eventually selected at that slot. The Eagles instead combined No. 175 with picks No. 167 and No. 245 in a separate deal with Green Bay to move up to No. 126, where they selected Todd Herremans.

Comparing the Outcomes

San Francisco can be happy with Snyder's longevity. Philadelphia, however, turned the move down into a defensive contributor plus an asset that helped finance another trade-up. The Eagles extracted value from both pieces rather than relying on one selection.

Final Verdict

Philadelphia Eagles Win, narrowly. Philadelphia earns a B-plus because Considine contributed and the additional pick helped create further draft value. San Francisco earns a B because Snyder was a durable, useful lineman and made the move-up worthwhile. This is a close result rather than a lopsided trade.

Snyder's durable 49ers career nearly matched Philadelphia's multi-asset downstream value overall.
