My initial read on the moves yesterday were that the Dolphins and 49ers were abandoning the thought of acquiring Watson prior to the draft. I suppose those moves could be interpreted any number of ways... mine is simply speculation.
But the oddest thing about it (which I can see fuels Watson trade speculation) is how far out from the draft these trades were made. So who knows. But it seems to me (i.e. I don't want to do any research) these types of trades would happen within a week or so of the draft. Especially for the third pick... the 49ers have no control over what the teams picking ahead of them do. So their front office, a month out, has to feel 100% comfortable with three players to pay so much (in additional picks) to move to that spot. That to me is odd.
