49ers depth chart: Searching to solidify depth at tight end

The 49ers’ roster is very top heavy at tight end. Improving that group could key a new wrinkle in head coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense.

San Francisco traded Marquise Goodwin and a sixth-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for their sixth-round pick. That allowed the 49ers to move up and select Woerner out of Georgia. He’s one of the draft’s best run-blocking tight ends and brings good versatility to be effective from multiple spots on the field. He’s an okay athlete who was used almost exclusively as a blocker in college. Woerner caught 34 passes for 371 yards and one touchdown with the Bulldogs. His role as a receiver would need to expand greatly if he’s going to out-snap Dwelley in his first season.
