49ers 2020 NFL Draft: Niners trade Matt Breida, land Colton McKivitz

This has been one of the most interesting NFL Drafts in years, both in general due to its virtual format, and for the San Francisco 49ers in particular.

The Niners were active on day one, but then yesterday for Rounds 2 and 3 of the draft, they put things on hold.

But Saturday, the Niners jumped into action again. First, they traded for Washington Redskins Pro Bowl offensive tackle Trent Williams to replace now-retiring left tackle Joe Staley. Then the Niners traded away running back Matt Breida to the Miami Dolphins for a fifth-round pick, which they then used on West Virginia offensive lineman Colton McKivitz.
