The addition of Christian McCaffrey less than two weeks ago created a potential logjam in the 49ers backfield.
It appears they have made a trade to clear it up. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, San Francisco is sending running back Jeff Wilson Jr. to Miami.
In exchange for Wilson, the 49ers will receive a 2023 fifth-round draft pick from the Dolphins.
The Positive
John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan turned a former undrafted free agent who is not under contract for next season into a future draft pick. In fact, the fifth round has been among the 49ers most productive under the current regime.
