49ers Doing Work On TE Position Ahead Of Draft
2 years agoThe San Francisco 49ers already have a great tight end in George Kittle, but they have done more work on that position than any other team leading up to the draft, according to a source with knowledge of the team's plans. The Niners have plenty of other needs on the offensive line and in the secondary, though, so taking a tight end would be a surprise early selection. Tight ends Luke Schoonmaker (Michigan), Tucker Kraft (South Dakota) and Zack Kuntz (Old Dominion) are realistic options late on Day 2 or in the early round on Day 3. The 49ers don't have a selection in the top-95 picks, but in a historically great tight end class, they could still find a solid running mate for Kittle later on.
