The Trey Lance trade is officially in the books. Ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft, the 49ers moved up from No. 12 overall to No. 3, in exchange for multiple draft picks. Here’s a look at how those picks turned out.
2021 - No. 12 overall - Micah Parsons
Once Parsons started playing on the line of scrimmage, he quickly became one of the most dominant defenders in the NFL.
In two seasons, Parsons has 29 tacks, 31 quarterback hits, and 100 run stops. Fans often fantasize about a Parsons and Nick Bosa pairing, but just because that player was on the board doesn’t mean the 49ers would have taken him.
