Like is said all along... Jeudy and Lamb are the better overall WRs but Aiyuk is such a good fit in this system that he's just as valuable to this team than those two would be.
I'm fine with how it played out...deep down in my plums I knew Kinlaw was a real possibility (even though I was done with DL in the first).
Gotta face the facts and realize this FO/coaching staff will always want top end DL talent. Could be worse lol.
Aiyuk is made for this offense, agreed. I had my reservations of him getting off press (which was something he didn't do much of) and a good chunk of his yards came from screens and go-routes.
I also valued Ruggs' elite speed (want to see that in Kyle's offense) & Jeudy's route running, both were used all over the place (and ran full route-trees)...toss in the fact that they played in the SEC as well.
I think Lamb & Aiuyk have very similar skill-sets, Lamb's just a better receiver overall at this point.
We will see, I'm pumped
