NFL Draft: 49ers trade Marquise Goodwin, take Charlie Woerner in Round 6

After weeks of speculation, and eventual confirmation from San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch, the Niners finally traded oft-injured wide receiver Marquise Goodwin to the Philadelphia Eagles in order to swap sixth-round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft.

And with the 190th pick in the draft, San Francisco selected Georgia tight end Charlie Woerner.

I wrote earlier the 49ers had been focused on finding an athletic tight end to complement All-Pro George Kittle in the passing game.

As it turns out, that may have been a smokescreen, as Woerner is much more of a blocking tight end than a passing threat.
