I'm admittedly not a huge Aiyuk fan. Not that I think he's a bad player, I just don't think he brings us another dimension on offense with Deebo already here. Unlike Deebo, Aiyuk is not a contested catch monster. Would I be bothered that much if we took him? Well, no. I just have others I prefer at this point. Best case scenario for Aiyuk is probably being the next Stephon Diggs without the circus catch ability. As mentioned by SDN earlier in this thread though, the floor could be something like Quinton Patton.
Wow I'm a little surprised. I see him as a more physical Emmanuel Sanders and an immediate PR/KR upgrade with legit #1 WR upside. I think he would absolutely dominate in Shanahan's system. He is possibly the best YAC WR in this draft.
Yes, he was a YAC king at the college level and no doubt he would be a threat on KR/PR. But then again, KJ Hamler does all that too, though is obviously much smaller. Neither provides a size mismatch overall. That said, I don't question that he could have success in our system.
Again, I think he has starter potential, he's just not my favorite WR in this class. But who knows? Maybe he pulls a Reggie Wayne and proves everyone wrong that he's more than just a great #2 type of WR.
