The Garoppolo thread is depressing, but Aiyuk is looking like a hell of a player in his rookie season. And Bourne continues to improve. With Samuel healthy, the Niners have a really good core of young receivers. We need a QB who can sling it and this offense could be very good.

That's the key

This guy is good. I love this pick. I am liking him more than Justin Jefferson at this point where three weeks ago I felt Jefferson was the best guy.

BOURNE is not continuing to improve.. he's already at the max..

AND as I've said before, YUCK already is our best WR.. last year. we would have been happy at 3-4 at this stage but we did surprised everyone including ourselves.. this year, we needed talented players but the injuries did not help either..

I think Bourne is making some tough catches and getting YAC. I see improvement there. Agree that Aiyuk looks like the most gifted natural WR of the lot. But Samuel is a beast in his own right, in a different way. If they could get Kittle and Reed healthy and on the field, there would be PLENTY of targets and defenses could not account for all of them.

Aiyuk man... i'll be honest i was sleeping hard on this guy cause of the infatuation we had for the bigger names but wow he definitely belongs!!!

Now we need a QB that can push the ball cause we have serious weapons at our disposal.

Yeah Bourne is what he is at this point. But for a UDFA he is really making the most out of it all and will always have a place in this league because of his hard work ethic and personality.

but that's not gonna happen because we have a coach who wont allow his players to become the carrier of his system... the guy is too proud, he loves hearing how great of a designer he is and how he made NOT SO TALENTED PLAYERS good..

I'd take Kinlaw and Aiyuk over Lamb and anyone Taken after Aiyuk.

Agree - we made the right choice with Kinlaw and Aiyuk.
