San Francisco 49ers: One concern for each 2020 NFL Draft pick

49ers TE Charlie Woerner: Ability to produce in the passing game

There’s no other way to say it, but Charlie Woerner is a blocking tight end. Having only recorded 34 catches in his entire collegiate career, it’s safe to say that he has a long road ahead of him.

Blocking tight ends are fine, but they’re a dime a dozen in the NFL. You can easily find them even in the undrafted ranks.

That being said, it isn’t out of the realm of possibility that he can be developed up. Star tight end George Kittle only had 48 catches in his entire collegiate career himself.

The 49ers want to use more looks involving two tight ends on the offense, Woerner will have to show that he has more ability to be a factor in the passing game than he showed at college for him to be anything better than the third tight end on the roster.

49ers OL Colton McKivitz: Functional strength and leverage

A tackle that will probably slide inside to guard to compete for the vacant role at right guard, Colton McKivitz has the ability to make an immediate splash in 2020.

However to do that, he seems to really work on his strength to make it in the NFL.

McKivitz isn’t a total liability in the area and has some strength to work with, but he showed some reps at West Virginia where he got handled easily by pass-rushers who took advantage of his inability to leverage his pads or use his strength to hold them.

His inability to do so would be a huge liability in the NFL. He has to work in the weight room and develop his technique to be a starter.
