Khalil Dinkins

As a UDFA, Dinkins sits behind All-Pro George Kittle and emerging blocking TE Jake Tonges on the 49ers depth chart, leaving virtually no path to receiving volume in the near term.

Went undrafted with only $275K guaranteed; UDFAs at a crowded position face real cut risk and may bounce to the practice squad.

Blocking-first profile (37 career catches, 399 yards over five seasons) with a limited route tree and a 4.72 forty — his value is as an in-line blocker, not a fantasy pass-catcher.

Shanahan's TE-friendly, heavy-12-personnel system uses blocking tight ends and could keep Dinkins employed; learning behind Kittle is an ideal development environment.

Penn State's recent TE pipeline (Freiermuth, Warren, Johnson, Strange) plus an NFL bloodline gives him pro-readiness as a blocker, though that rarely translates to dynasty relevance.
