Las Vegas moved from No. 48 to No. 43 in 2021 for safety Tre'von Moehrig and also received a seventh-round pick. San Francisco took guard Aaron Banks at No. 48 and later moved the fourth-round selection. Moehrig started 64 games in four Raiders seasons with six interceptions, while Banks started 43 games for three strong 49ers offenses before leaving in free agency. Both teams found quality multi-year starters, making this an even trade.

Trade Analysis
Las Vegas moved up five spots in the 2021 second round, sending San Francisco picks 48 and 121 for Nos. 43 and 230. The Raiders selected TCU safety Tre'von Moehrig at 43 and center Jimmy Morrissey in the seventh round. The 49ers used No. 48 on Notre Dame guard Aaron Banks and later moved the fourth-round asset.
Moehrig became an immediate starter and stayed in the lineup throughout his rookie contract. He appeared in 66 regular-season games for Las Vegas and started 64, totaling 294 tackles, six interceptions and 29 passes defensed. His best statistical season came in 2024, when he recorded 104 tackles, 10 passes defensed and two interceptions. He left in free agency after that season, closing a four-year Raiders tenure that delivered exactly the kind of starting volume teams hope to find in the second round.
Banks followed a similar path after a quiet rookie year. He became San Francisco's starting left guard in 2022 and started 43 regular-season games over four seasons, plus six postseason contests. From 2022 through 2024, he was part of an offensive line that supported one of the NFL's most efficient attacks and multiple deep playoff runs. Banks signed with Green Bay in 2025 after completing his rookie contract.
The smaller pieces did not create enough value to separate the teams. Morrissey did not become a lasting Raiders starter, and San Francisco's No. 121 selection was subsequently moved rather than producing a clean direct comparison.
The original San Francisco B-/Las Vegas C result is too pessimistic about the Raiders and too eager to declare a winner. Moehrig and Banks both became multi-year starters, both contributed to important team units and both completed their rookie contracts before earning opportunities elsewhere.
B+ grades for both clubs and an Even Trade verdict better reflect the outcome. Las Vegas received more defensive playmaking; San Francisco received strong offensive-line continuity on a contender.
