The 49ers almost certainly will draft another tight end this year.
They drafted two last year — Cameron Latu and Brayden Willis. Willis was a decent special teams player, but Latu was flat-out awful at everything in training camp, which is why he spent the season on I.R. and the 49ers recently tried to sign Lions backup tight end Brock Wright. Ultimately, the 49ers were unsuccessful in acquiring Wright, which means they have to draft one for the second year in a row.
