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.

As I mentioned before, Greg Cosell brought up him being a great fit for the 49ers, Packers and Rams. He's really well suited for this style of offense.

I almost thought he was too much like what we have, so I thought we'd go with a bigger guy, but it's clear Shanahan loves receivers with strong hands and run like RBs.

If we are using software versioning rules, Aiyuk is Kyle's 1.0 and Pettis was the Beta.

Does this mean they had Kinlaw and Aiyuk as two of their 6 foundational players? Or is it that the top 3 on their board when #13 came included Kinlaw and Aiyuk?

Dude has 81 inch arms and a 40 inch vert. Don't need bigger guys when you have a radius like that. Plus with speed . Deebo is the physical guy and we got the speedy guy. Call em thunder and lightning!

Jet sweep threat on both sides with Deebo and Aiyuk. Stoping the run will become even harder.
