Let’s make a deal: What a trade between Falcons and 49ers might look like

Rumors are swirling that the Falcons want to make a trade up in the NFL draft. The 49ers might become prime candidates to move back.

49ers get pick Nos. 16 and 78
Falcons get pick No. 13 

This is a lot like the first option only the Falcons hold on to their fourth-round pick and the 49ers keep their fifth-round selection. The important note with this swap is that they two sides land a little closer together on the trade value chart.

Atlanta gets to climb up three places and the 49ers get a third-round pick for their trouble. That’s probably not ideal for them in a move back, but it still opens the door to a little flexibility with the 31st pick. If San Francisco isn’t in love with a prospect at 13, and they can snag a third-rounder to move back a few spots, it wouldn’t be a bad deal even if it’s not perhaps peak value.
