Packers beat reporters had been pushing Reagor, Jefferson and Aiyuk for awhile. It just so happened that the first two went very quickly and the 49ers jumped to take the third.

Every year it seems several of our WR's get injured.
This draft is so deep I would trade back in with a 2021 pick etc to get more picks this year

He better be a lot better.
We gave up #31, #117 #176 for him

yep we stole Aiyuk from the Pack
The mock draft: Daniel Jeremiah, NFL.com
The pick: WR Brandon Aiyuk, Arizona State
The reasoning: "This could be the spot for Jordan Love. If the Packers pass on him, though, Aiyuk is a perfect fit in their offense."
Our breakdown: Jeremiah is right; Aiyuk really does look like a perfect fit with Matt LaFleur and the Packers offense. He wins in the right ways. His straight-line speed opens up vertical attacking opportunities, and he's arguably the best receiver in the class after the catch, with the ability to turn short completions into long touchdowns. He has the catch radius of a big receiver and the explosiveness of a little receiver, and he'll have early impact potential because he can do a lot with manufactured touches. Aiyuk needs refinement as a route runner, but all young receivers need development as they transition to the pro game. There's a reason Aiyuk has emerged as the mock draft favorite for the Packers. He checks all the boxes in terms of fit, talent and athleticism.

They better stay healthy because they now have no depth and no more draft picks.

No here is what we gave up:
"The 49ers traded the No. 31, No. 117 and No. 176 to the Minnesota Vikings for the No. 25 pick. With that pick, the 49ers selected Arizona State wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. There were a number of receivers on the board for the 49ers to choose from ....."
They finished the day with one fewer pick than they started with and got two guys that they seemed to be really excited about. Not bad. For better or worse we'll have to see how it plays out.
Quality over quantity
True it's most important to have quality,
but you know we need back-ups.
Every year it seems several of our WR's get injured.
This draft is so deep I would trade back in with a 2021 pick etc to get more picks this year

We got Deebo, Aiyuk, Bourne, Hurd, James Jr, Taylor
We also have the best TE in football and the best playcaller in the game.
Shanny will do big things with these guys
Oh yeah, we got three or four RBs that can run for 180 any game cause of Kyle

WTF, even Lynch said that there are starters in the 5th rd. This is a great year to get some depth in case of injuries, which happen EVERY year
