49ers 2020 NFL Draft preview: Tight end to help George Kittle

In 2017, the San Francisco 49ers arguably landed the biggest steal of that year’s NFL Draft by grabbing a relatively unknown tight end, George Kittle, out of Iowa in Round 5.

Three years later, he’s a first-team All-Pro and one of the league’s biggest sensations.

It’s unlikely the Niners will have that magnitude of fortune again on day three of the 2020 draft, although there’s always hope one of the team’s five picks between Rounds 5 and 7 wind up being a superstar.

Even if that pick winds up being yet another tight end.
