The San Francisco 49ers finally have a plethora of draft picks in the seventh round, with three selections set to take place in short order, barring a trade. They spent their first pick of the round on Oklahoma tight end Brayden Willis, who should have fun learning his craft under one of the best players at his position in the NFL, George Kittle.
Willis isn’t likely to be leaned on in San Francisco’s offense early in his career but could become a guy for the 49ers in the long-term. Check out his best plays at Oklahoma below to get a better sense of what he brings to the table as a rookie:

Brayden Willis is a perfect pick for the 49ers this late. Can play tight end, fullback, special teams, and even wildcat QB! Very solid blocker with solid hands. Enjoyed him playing Wildcat and being a lead blocker: pic.twitter.com/tNvYji9Itw

Watching the game back, and on this Freeman run, Brayden Willis blocks two dudes to help Freeman get to the corner and then races Freeman to the end zone to find someone else to block. #UncommonEffort #OUDNA pic.twitter.com/slNbzonupO
