NFL Trade Verdict
San Francisco 49ers Win
San Francisco moved up for C.J. Beathard, while Minnesota moved down and added Jaleel Johnson and Stacy Coley. Beathard settled in as a backup-level quarterback, but he still gave the 49ers the more useful post-trade value than Minnesota's depth return.
Minnesota Vikings Received
- pick 2017 4th-round pick (#109 Jaleel Johnson)
- pick 2017 7th-round pick (#219 Stacy Coley )
San Francisco 49ers Received
- pick 2017 3rd-round pick (#104 C.J. Beathard )
Trade Analysis
The Vikings extracted extra depth by moving down, but neither Johnson nor Coley became a premium long-term piece. San Francisco paid a reasonable price for a quarterback swing and received enough spot-starting value from Beathard to hold a modest edge.
