49ers Trade Dee Winters for Draft Picks

0:00On April 25th, the San Francisco 49ers are shipping linebacker D Winters to the Dallas Cowboys for a 5th round draft pick. Reports say it's the best of Dallas's 3-5th rounders, landing at the 150 second spot overall. This trade lines up with the 49ers playing the stack of more picks before the draft. They grabbed Nick Martin last year and brought back Dre Greenlaw this all season, making Winters available on the market. Winters held down the starting spot for all 17 games last season. He's shown as one of the few standouts on the defense that hit rough patches late in the year. Now the 49ers sit with 8 total picks this draft, including two in the 5th round. They snagged the other one earlier by trading back with the New York Jets. Smart move keeps their roster flexible while building depth for the long haul. I'm Corey with the story.
