Kansas City sent Rod Streater to San Francisco in 2016 and ultimately received the 2019 seventh-round selection at No. 216, used on guard Nick Allegretti. Allegretti became an excellent late-round return, appearing in 74 games with 13 starts for Kansas City from 2019 through 2023 and contributing to three Super Bowl championship teams. The long-term line depth easily surpassed Streater's brief 49ers production.

Trade Analysis
The 2016 Move
San Francisco added Rod Streater at the end of the 2016 preseason, while Kansas City preserved future draft value in the transaction. The draft trail eventually delivered the No. 216 selection in 2019 to the Chiefs. Kansas City used that seventh-round choice on Illinois offensive lineman Nick Allegretti.
San Francisco's Immediate Return
Streater gave the 49ers a functional veteran receiver for one season. He appeared in all 16 games in 2016, started twice and caught 18 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers are useful for a depth acquisition, particularly on a struggling roster, but they did not turn into a multi-year role. Streater did not play another regular-season game for San Francisco after 2016.
The Allegretti Payoff
Kansas City's late-round asset became far more valuable than its draft position suggested. Allegretti appeared in 74 games and made 13 starts for the Chiefs from 2019 through 2023. He provided interior-line depth across five seasons and became especially important during the 2023 championship run, stepping in at left guard during the AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl LVIII. He was part of Kansas City teams that won Super Bowls LIV, LVII and LVIII.
Why the Chiefs Win
A one-year receiver rental is a reasonable outcome for San Francisco, but Allegretti supplied five seasons of roster stability and meaningful postseason snaps. Finding that kind of contributor at No. 216 is precisely the upside teams seek from late-round draft capital.
Final Verdict
Kansas City Chiefs Win. Kansas City earns an A for converting the transaction into a durable offensive lineman who contributed to multiple championship teams. San Francisco earns a C because Streater provided useful 2016 depth, but the short tenure does not approach Allegretti's sustained value.
Allegretti's five Chiefs seasons clearly exceeded Streater's one-year San Francisco role.
