While the 49ers can probably get by with their group of tight ends, their reported pursuit of Austin Hooper makes it clear the team wants better depth behind George Kittle. Levine Toilolo left in free agency, leaving Ross Dwelley and undrafted second-year player Daniel Helm backing up Kittle. This draft class isn’t particularly strong at tight end, but unless something drastic happens in free agency, they’ll likely add a player in the middle-to-late rounds to give them additional depth at an important position for their offense.
