49ers are quietly winning big on the trade everyone mocked

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch has had his fair share of misses during his time with the team. His aggressive team-building style has come back to bite him more than a few times before.

When he traded for Bryce Huff this offseason, many experts saw the move as his latest mistake. The former Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher had failed to make an impact in the previous season, making them eager to ship him off just one year into his contract.

But just a few months later, it looks like Lynch pulled off a genius move to keep his team in contention in the NFC.
