NFL Trade Verdict

San Francisco 49ers Win

San Francisco moved down in the 2015 first round and landed Arik Armstead plus additional value, while the Chargers moved up for Melvin Gordon. Gordon was productive, but Armstead and the added assets give the 49ers a slight win.

Trade Analysis

This was a good trade for both sides. The Chargers got a productive running back, but San Francisco received a long-term defensive-line contributor and extra draft value. The edge belongs to the 49ers, but it is not a blowout.
