49ers trade RB Jeff Wilson Jr. to Dolphins
Miami Dolphins get: RB Jeff Wilson Jr.
San Francisco 49ers get: 2023 fifth-round pick
Trade date: Nov. 1

Grade for the Dolphins: B+

Going from Chase Edmonds to Wilson is a pretty remarkable running back upgrade in the span of a day: Edmonds has the worst rush yards over expectation (minus-100) of any player in the NFL this season, per NFL Next Gen Stats, while Wilson has recorded plus-119 with the 49ers. Edmonds had lost the starting job to Raheem Mostert but he, too, has recorded rush yards below expectation (minus-33) this season.

McDaniel is a former Kyle Shanahan assistant, so it feels safe to assume Wilson should be able to hit the ground running, literally, in the Miami offense.

They could use the help on the ground: The Dolphins rank 26th in EPA per designed carry.

Wilson is a free agent after this season and is currently on a cheap $1 million contract.



Broncos trade OLB Chubb to Dolphins
Miami Dolphins get: OLB Bradley Chubb
Denver Broncos get: 49ers 2023 first-round pick, Dolphins 2024 fourth-round pick, RB Chase Edmonds
Trade date: Nov. 1

Grade for the Dolphins: B+

If you're going to spend a first-round pick for a non-QB you're going to need to pay well, it had better be for a star at a premium position. In Chubb, the Dolphins got that.

For most of his career, Chubb's metrics indicated he wasn't quite worth the hype. He put up 12 sacks as a rookie in 2018 -- he hasn't hit double digits since -- and posted win rates mostly in the teens at edge. Good, but not great.

But Chubb's play has been different this season. His pass rush win rate at edge ranks third in the NFL behind only Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett, and Chubb has 5.5 sacks in eight games. His run stop win rate at edge (30%) is also a career high, putting him 12th in the category at the position.

That grade should also include eliminating RB and pass rush as needs

Contract year. That's what makes me nervous about this trade if we decide to pay him.

PFF ratings this year:

Chubb 74.9. Highest rating of his career; not an elite rating, but very solid.

Wilson 67.4, 33rd out of 56 among qualified rushers. Edmonds was dead last.

Any idea of Wilsonā€™s acumen on blitz pickup!

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully they add incentives for games played and sacks. At very least give themselves an out after year 2 so weā€™re not saddled with a huge contract long term.

I don't have access to PFF, how does Chubb compare to who we have?

Same here. I'm not poopooing the move and glad the the team is going for it, but we've seen so many contract year players explode and then fade to black after getting paid. I really hope that Chubb doesn't fall into this category. Either way the trade is done and I'm excited to see what dimension his play adds to this defense.
 
Wilson for a 5th round pick is an A move for me. He is averaging 5.1 YPC on 92 touches this season. The 4 week span where he got the bulk of the 49ers touches yielded 65 carries for 353 yards and a TD (over 5.4 YPC).

I have mixed feelings about giving up a 1st and having to pay Chubb when he has had a very inconsistent career. Hopefully, his play this season continues on the upward trend. The fact we managed to unload Edmonds is what seals the B+ grade for me. Think the trade will make our team better on both sides of the ball.

That would be a reasonable assumption, but "per sources" could mean anything. Were the sources his barber? Taxi driver? Or someone that is on the inside, like his agent, or someone in the Phins Org?

Not bustin your balls. It just seemed like a statement of fact.
