49ers linked to trade for 21-INT Colts CB with very affordable price tag, but odd fit

49ers linked to Kenny Moore trade at reasonable price but odd fit

For starters, a 6th-round pick for Moore would be well-worth it for any team in need of cornerback help.

Last year for the Colts, Moore had a pick-six and held quarterbacks to an 87.8 passer rating when he was targeted. That's a strong year, and with his 21 career interceptions and four pick-sixes, Moore is someone who would be a lot of fun to acquire.

However, while the 49ers could land Moore at a very reasonable price, the fit with the 49ers' defense is a tab bit odd.

Moore is a slot cornerback, and typically doesn't play on the outside much. For the 49ers, that would mean that Moore would replace Upton Stout, a second-year player who showed some promise in his rookie season.

While Moore would be an upgrade over Stout, the 49ers might be better off skipping on adding someone like Moore, unless one of Stout or Moore could move to the outside.

Knox linked the 49ers to Moore, and he would be a nice pickup in theory, especially at the cost of a 6th-round pick. But the odd fit in the 49ers' defense makes this a trade not likely to come to fruition.
