6. San Fransisco 49ers
The 49ers present an opportunity for Hikutini to come right in and contribute, but the bad news is that this is currently a terrible football team under former Oregon Ducks head coach Chip Kelly.
San Fransisco loves to use their tight-ends, but they don’t have a great receiving tight-end like Cole Hikutini. It doesn’t matter who they will have playing quarterback next season, they need a tight-end that can stay healthy and catch 35-50 balls per season.
The 49ers want to run the football well and be able to move the chains effectively. Obviously, every team wants to do that, but only a few NFL teams are run-first in this passing league.
Hikutini would be a solid pick-up for a 49ers team struggling to find consistency on offense.
