49ers draft: Running back Matt Breida traded, offensive lineman drafted

Matt Breida, the 49ers’ leading rusher in 2017 and ’18, is the odd-man out in their crowded backfield.

The 49ers traded Breida to the Miami Dolphins for a fifth-round draft pick, which they used to select West Virginia offensive tackle Colton McKivitiz.

Of course, the 49ers made a bigger trade and acquired a more proven offensive tackle earlier Saturday to replace the retiring Joe Staley: Trent Williams came from Washington in exchange for an earlier fifth-round pick and a 2021 third-rounder.

Breida recently signed his one-year, $3.3 million tender as a restricted free agent.
