I mean okay Steve. But I dont agree with that last bit. He's not sitting behind nobody.

Aiyuk is going to be expected to start right away. We are horrible at receiver. Dante Petite should not be the starter.

Shanalynch in the 5th so far:

2017 - Kittle, Taylor
2018 - Reed
2019 - Greenlaw

All currently on the roster. That's Shanalynch's money late round.

Yep. I still think it was worth it - if we found someone to take Sanders production.

I'm already getting anxiously excited thinking about seeing Aiyuk in Kyle's offense.

Covid, gtfoh. Football season, come here, baby.

But I wish we had some more picks since so many good players out there.

Sometimes you have to give up something to get something.

Smith was pretty spot on here. His analysis of Aiyuk, the advantage of being drafted later, looking at teams with multiple picks, and knowing there was no way he was falling out of the first.

One change...Aiyuk isn't sitting lol.

5. BRANDON AIYUK, Arizona State (5-11 ½, 205, 4.53): Aiyuk played in junior college for two seasons. He played second fiddle to N'Keal Harry in 2018 before breaking out in '19. "He's (5-11½) but he's got an 80-inch wingspan, which is so disproportionately long for his body, so he's really a big target for a smaller guy," one scout said. "He has ranginess to him, yet he's compact enough where his change of direction is great. He's really explosive on tape. Even going back to his junior year, he only had 33 catches but just grading the flash plays he was better than N'Keal Harry." He caught 65 balls as a senior, finishing with 98 for 1,666 (17.0) ands 11 TDs. "The first three or four games this year it was kind of whatever," said another scout. "Then something clicked and he really turned it on. Their offensive line was horrible, so a lot of his deep routes didn't really have time to develop because the quarterback (freshman Jayden Daniels) had to get the ball out. He became that quarterback's best friend. He's underrated. Early on, he comes in as your No. 1 punt returner and kickoff guy." He has a Wonderlic score of 23. "Explosive with a 40-inch vert, excellent route runner, quickness," said a third scout. "You could compare Greg Jennings to him. He's better than Nelson Agholor." From Reno, Nev.

Zero issues with the draft so far.

Likely a stronger team next year.

Still concerned about OL.

I have been on the zone for a long long time. Every draft is filled with too high and low emotions.

Betting 1 or 2 UDFAs make the roster.

Let's go!
