We’re going to look at departures from each position prior to Week

1 of the 2018 season and see how they fared after leaving the San Francisco 49ers. Some players went on to better careers https://www.49ersfanshop.com/C.-J.-Beathard-Jersey , while others may be out of the league. We won’t be highlighting every transaction, just some notable ones. Today, we look at the offensive line.The 49ers offensive line has been a hot mess dating back to Jim Harbaugh’s final years when the likes of Marcus Martin were trying to make a name for themselves. The back half of 2017 brought improvement and major strides were made in 2018. The addition of Mike McGlinchey and emerging presence of Mike Person helped solidify things. The 49ers O-line is by no means a finished product, but it’s come a long way since Martin, Jordan Devey and others were opening up lanes for defensive linemen to plow through. And with improvement and new faces meant trades or free agency walks. Here’s a list of the more notable departures that is no way complete. Note that with some exceptions, camp bodies, training camp transactions, and roster cuts during the season are not listed for the most part.Daniel Kilgore (C)Brandon Fusco (RG)Trent Brown (LT)Zane Beadles (G)Daniel KilgoreFor a fifth-round pick, Kilgore managed to carve himself a role as a decent, though underwhelming starting center. Well, when he was healthy, anyways. Kilgore managed just one season of starting all 16 games in his seven years with the 49ers. When 2018 free agency began, Kilgore had a contract in his hands with the 49ers and it looked like he’d stick around. Instead Matt Breida Jersey , the 49ers signed Weston Richburg and traded Kilgore to the Miami Dolphins and swapped seventh-round picks to seal the deal. The move leaves only one pick from the once lauded 2011 draft class (Mike Person)It’s hard to assess how Kilgore’s season would have went with his new team. He only saw four games of action before he tore his triceps and was placed on injured reserve. Going into Week 3, he had a 56.7 rating on Pro Football FocusBrandon Fusco Fusco signed with the 49ers in the 2017 offseason and managed to show a few bright spots in 2017, but was never someone that necessitated breaking the bank over in a new contract. He left for the Atlanta Falcons on a three-year, up to $12.75 million contract, an amount out of the 49ers’ budget. Fooch mentioned in his write-up above the 49ers could do better and the move freed up Mike Person to eventually win the role at right guard. As time went on, Person ended up being the solid choice. Much like Kilgore, Fusco’s assessment is a bit premature. He played seven games before going on IR with an ankle injury. Zane BeadlesEveryone’s scapegoat from 2017. After his release from the 49ers, Beadles signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons and was promptly sent to the sideline. In Week 13 due to poor play from Ben Garland, Beadles was named the starter. In his five starts, he wound up not getting a single penalty. He also made PFF’s team of the Week in Week 17. He’s a free agent again, so if you think the 49ers should roll the dice and bring him back, it’s always a possibility. Trent BrownOne of those very few Trent Baalke picks that worked out quite well. Brown was taken with a seventh-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.As the season wore on, Brown wrenched the starting job and became one of the league’s better pass-protecting tackles Trent Taylor Color Rush Jersey , getting praise from elite defenders like Von Miller. Unfortunately, weight and conditioning issues kept him out of favor with Kyle Shanahan and a decision had to be made. Another factor was how Brown’s run blocking was nowhere near as good as his pass protection. The 49ers drafted Mike McGlinchey and sent Brown to the New England Patriots a day later. In New England, Brown started all 16 games at left tackle (he played right in San Francisco), protecting Tom Brady’s blind side. 2016 and 2017 brought six false start penalties apiece and Brown has one to his name for 2018. On the flipside, he had one holding penalty in 2016 and 2017 each, but four for 2018, so pick your poison. For what it’s worth, Brown is about to start in his first Super Bowl. So he may be doing pretty well for himself. As for any improvement in the move? This blurb from Pro Football Focus may sum up Brown the best: Brown is entering 2019 as a free agent, so the 49ers could bring him back if they really saw a need to. Would you like to have any of these linemen back on the team? SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers will be without another key offensive piece with leading rusher Matt Breida sidelined at least a week with an injured ankle.Breida hurt himself in warmups before Sunday’s 43-16 loss at Seattle that officially eliminated the 49ers from playoff contention. Breida tried to play through the injury but eventually couldn’t and left the game.He finished the game with five carries for six yards and three catches for 51 yards.Rookie Jeff Wilson fared well in just his second career game, carrying 15 times for 61 yards and adding eight catches for 73 yards. He also lost a disputed fumble near the goal line that coach Kyle Shanahan felt should have been ruled down by contact.“He hits the hole and he runs hard,” Shanahan said. “He’s a very good zone runner. He doesn’t mess around. He sets his track. When he sees an open gap, he puts his foot down and goes for it.”Breida has been one of the few bright spots on offense this season for the 49ers https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Adrian-Colbert-Jersey , rushing for 744 yards and ranking third in the league with an average of 5.64 yards per carry.He got his chance because projected starter Jerick McKinnon went down with a season-ending knee injury a week before the opener. San Francisco also lost starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a season-ending knee injury in Week 3 and has struggled for any consistency on offense.The Niners will get a bit of a boost this week with the expected return of speedy receiver Marquise Goodwin to the lineup. Goodwin has missed the past two games while dealing with a serious family matter but was at the facility Monday and expected to be back at practice on Wednesday.Shanahan had challenged the Niners before their bye to come back focused for the stretch run of what has been a mostly lost season. Instead, San Francisco returned from the bye and lost 27-9 at Tampa Bay and then was hammered by the Seahawks.The 49ers will try to avoid tying a franchise worst with a third straight loss by at least 17 points at home on Sunday against Denver. The Niners had three-game skids of losses of at least 17 points in 1963, 1999, 2005 and 2016.“We didn’t play very well,” Shanahan said. “That doesn’t go into they didn’t respond to my challenge. You have to play very good football to win games and we haven’t done that enough consistently in all three phases throughout the year. Magic words don’t make people different. I want people to focus and worry about what they can control. We have four games left. We know we’re eliminated from the playoffs. So is this year over? This year has everything to do, for me, about next year.”Shanahan also explained why he got so incensed at the officials after an offside call in the third quarter against Elijah Lee, who was trying to run on the field to replace Fred Warner while the Seahawks were in hurry-up mode.Shanahan said Warner’s shoe fell off on the previous play and Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson threw it out of the way, forcing Warner to run and pick it up behind the line of scrimmage and Lee to try to rush on to take his place.“I’m not saying he did that maliciously or anything. Who knows?” Shanahan said. “But it was an unusual situation and it was my tipping point.”NOTES: Edge rusher Dekoda Watson will be placed on IR with a torn calf muscle. … S Jaquiski Tartt will miss this week’s game with a stinger.
